Default 241 heads compression question

what would be the compression ratio with a stock 2000 ls1 bottom end with a set of 241 heads that are cut .025?

Subtract 4cc from the combustion chambers which is about a .5 point increase in CR.

stock CR with 241s was 10.25 to 1 so that would make it about 10.75 to 1 right?

Sounds about right, assuming you use GM gaskets and everything else is the same.

Factory LS1 is 10.19...LS6 is 10.45
241 chamber volume is 66.67 cc
243 chamber volume is 64.45 cc
I believe 6.7 thousandths of mill equals 1 cc of volume reduction
I wacked my 241s .030 and figured to be @ 62.2 cc for 10.75 with GM mls

Depending on the cam size (less than 230 IN.) some will run the .040"
Cometic gasket which puts the quench @ an ultra tight .032" and will raise
the compression another .35 to one. But some end up flycutting for PTV
clearance which negates the squeeze increase.
