Default compression with flycutt pistons

i have these ls6 heads that are 64cc combustion chamber with flycutt pistons which would lower it 1 to 2 cc so 66cc stock is 64cc would i lose power if so how much.could i just use a thinner gasket to raise compression or put it back to stock compression.

So your saying that you all ready have your pistons notched? And that you have 64cc LS6 heads?

Well, you could have the heads milled some and even a thinner gasket. But, need to know what cam you are running or intend to run to get proper PTV clearances..

If you did loose power, I doubt youd notice it. If you want the lost compression back just get the heads milled.
