Default How much compression?
OK I have a 2000 6.0l shortblock laying around and I want to put my 59cc ls6 heads on it since my stock short block took a ****.

How much compression will I have and will it be too much for 93 octane?

If its too much can I run a slighty thicker head gasket to lower it to a pump gas friendly level?


Thanks

Josh

check the compression calculator in one of the stickys.but i think with 59cc heads on a 6.0 your going to need to run higher than 93 octane...
