Default What cr should I go with

I have a 383 99 Ta that is making 432hp on motor through a 12 bolt and a a3 it has a ported set of 241s, ms3, 102/102. As of right now my cr is a 10.3 with a -10cc piston and a 64cc head and a mls .51 gasket. I bought a set of tfs225s that are currently a 65cc and am going to be usin a .40 cometic gasket. What cr should I go with and run pump gas and still be good for a 250 hit of nitrous. What should my final cc size be on my new heads?

A 61cc chamber will get you to 11.0:1 which is a really good place to be for pump gas. That would require around a .024" mill assuming you're running a .040" gasket.

BUT. I'm sure you already know this, but lets just restate. That brings your valves that much closer to the pistons. I understand you have dish pistons, but are they fly cut in the right spot for clearance?

If in any doubt, you really need to check your P to V. And then of course you will need different pushrods. Just in case..

ARP head studs. Reason? Because if you're going to be running a 250 shot, you'll most likely get into a habit of removing your heads a lot, LOL. Studs make removal and replacement pretty easy.

Yea they do have valve reliefs in the them if I'm not mistaken they are a -3Cc inverted dome and the extra -7cc are from the valve reliefs I have the part number if needed also this is a 3.905 bore with a 4.000 gasket I realize that factors in my cr
