My new h/c setup, some questions inside

My new h/c setup, some questions inside
Well I've decided to get the TEA 5.3L Stage 1.5's and match them up with a TSP Torquer v 2 that I already have. At first I didn't want to flycut but have since decided to go ahead with it.
My target SCR is 11.36:1 & DCR is 8.60:1, here are the specs for how I plan to achieve it:
Heads: 5.3's milled to 59cc
Tv2: 232/234 .595/.598 112lsa 110icl
Gaskets: .040
Deck Height: +.008 (This is correct for a stock block right?)
One question I had was about flycutting and how it affects the cylinder volume. What is the most I can safely flycut a stock piston and what would the effect be when entering data into the compression calculator? (ie -1cc etc) For example, if everything else remained constant and the flycutting reduced the volume 1cc, the DCR is then 8.50:1 and the SCR is 11.21:1.
So do these numbers check out? Any thoughts on this combo? I should have no problems with PTVC if I flycut enough right? Any input is appreciated.
BTW this is going into the vette which has 4.10's and an LS6 intake.

stock shortblock LS1's usually have a - (negitive) deck height. meaning the piston comes out the block. mine measured -0.005.
I'll give my calculator a go with your combo and see if i get the same thing. can you give me the specs of the T2 @ .006, .050, .200? thanks
btw, flycutting adds to the volume. think of a dish piston, its adding more volume to the combustion chamber, so it would lower the compression. reducing volume raises compression. (dome piston) so to answer your question a valve relief (flycut) is adding volume.

Flycutting .100 should be around 1-2 cc's I believe. And its isnt a positive deck height, it should be negative(piston out of hole) That alone is gonna change your SCR a lot.

OK, that should be it, how does my SCR / DCR and quench look. Any area's that could be improved? Anything look wrong?

EVO: 75.5 / 51 / 11.5
EVC: 27.5 / 3 / -36.5

Can you fill me in a little on what these valve events actually represent, and what they mean to someone building a h/c package. Thanks

EDIT: I'm also curious how to figure out how much I need to flycut my pistons in order for them to clear. Do I just shave the intake and exhaust down .100 each and then clay the piston and do a dry turn over of the crank?

Heres the latest model using a .040 head gasket and keeping all other variables the same. It raised the compression to 11.50, will I be able to get away with the compression this high if I keep my quench tight?

I have diamond -2cc pistons, 232/236 .575 112 LSA, TEA stage 3 heads 57-58 cc with big valves. I like the mid size cam, high compression engine, it has great power down low. Its a good daily driver.
There really isnt a formula, you have to measure.
