Default Just ordered ETP 215's, have?

I read somewhere here that with 60cc chambers and a .040" gasket you get 11.1-11.5CR, is that correct? Also, I'm sure it will be done before I get my heads but do you guys think a G5X3 112lsa will work on these w/o flycutting and using an .040" gasket?
Beast96Z, I know you posted the CR info. somewhere but I can't find it.

Thanks.

I think you'd probably be ok on a 114lsa. I know people are running that cam with milled AFR 205's and no fly-cutting. I'm thinking if you gain approx. .100" with the 11* head and mill .012" to acheive 60cc that leaves you .088". I'm pretty sure LG dishes .070" out of your piston to run the G5X3 112lsa so you got about .018" left before the danger zone. I'm also not sure about what you'd lose with the head gasket being .040", this is the only thing that kinda sucks about running a brand new head.
Somebody jump in and straighten me out on this!

the 11* valve angle might be a problem, your best bet is to clay test the setup before you set it up and crank it over.

Thanks for the input guys. I contacted Anthony at LGM and he said he has ET head(s) in stock and will try out the G5X3 when he gets a chance.
