hey guys i have a quick compression ratio question and also a cam question.
i just picked up a lq9 short block. stock bottom end. i also got a set of tea stage 3 5.3 heads. 63cc stock but these were milled .020. my question is, what will my compression ratio be and also what would you say the max lift cam i can use with out fly cutting the pistons?

it can go fast but you will need supporting mods like intake headers and I will throw in a aftermarket cam your C.R will be in the 11:6 depends on what head gasket you get!! Here is a link were you can calculate your CR
