Raising compression?

Raising compression?
I'm replacing base gaskets soon, and want to bump compression while I have it apart? What compression ratio(s) work well with EV27? I've heard 9.5:1, but for some reason my mind tells me to go bigger.
I'll also have the jugs punched out .020 over, and the heads gone though as well while it's apart.

9.5:1
This is what Andrew's say's,
I e-mailed Andrew's about compression ratio's you can use with the EV13 & the EV27 & this was the response I got. And I quote:
I wouldn't go more, but that's me. Looking at doing the same mod's this winter. Ride Safe,

I recommend 9.25:1 (stock is 8.5:1) for the EV13 cam and 9.5:1 for the EV27 cam.
Thank you,

it's not so much that you don't need it with the cometic, it's that they won't work with them .... the hole in the gasket where the oil passage is, is too small
also, i had the cometic base gaskets on mine...and after about 500 miles the oil began to seep through....so got the 'hayden oil fix' and used stock harley gaskets
i've put about 800 miles since the fix and it's dry as a bone down there

the only thing i concluded was that i MIGHT have been getting false torque head readings because the cylinder studs were in the factory position and may have loosened slightly, thus jarring things
....so before i replaced the gasket with the hayden fix i flipped the cylinder studs...and so i bet if i reused cometics i'd have been fine, but just didn't want to take another chance
