Default Quick compression question

Keeping everything else the same, how much does the compression ratio drop by swapping to 6.0L heads (and obviously using the 6.0L gaskets as well)? Thanks!

I'm thinking down to about 9.51:1 can anyone confirm that?

the 6.0 heads have a 70cc chamber so compression will drop to 9.7:1 if you use the stadard .054" gaskets
