Default Compression Ratio for an ls1 with 58cc heads??

Ive looked around and cant seem to find the info im looking for. I have a stock ls1 bottom end, with a set of prc 2.5 5.3l heads with 58cc chambers. Im trying to figure out what the comp ratio would be with this combo..If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

You will be over 11:1 with 58cc chambers-closer to 11.5:1 even without using a thin gasket.Hopefully someone will post a link to one of the compression calculators so you can figure it exactly.

The cam only is an issue with DCR not SCR

What #'s did you use?

I got 11.4 after putting in the numbers. But that is with 0 out of the hole I'm not sure what you have but I doubt that it is .000 out of the hole.

On my second try

Pistons can come out of the hole 0.000 to 0.010 so results may vary. My 5.7 was measured at 0.010.

You're about three years too late. I'm sure it got sorted out since 2011.
