The fact that DET's have oil squirters and sodium filled exhaust valves does not affect the compression radios and thus will not affect the power output like a higher compression would.

But since you really want to have the title of being the first one of putting DE pistons in a DET, go for it, I won't tell anyone you're 20 years late to the party.
