On my computer, you can purchase the program from Performance Trends. It's called Compression Ratio Calculator.

I got 10.9:1 for the LQ9 guy on the free calculator, but i guess that little bit can make the difference on a built race motor.

If accuracy isn't a concern than why even calculate it? There is only one correct way to calculate compression ratio and as long as the parameters are correct one can't argue with the math.

so it looks like I'll be sitting at right at 11:1. That should give me a nice gain coming from 10.1:1

Yep.

I'm personally debating picking up some 241s dirt cheap and having them ported. 11:1 may be too much compression for me. The 67cc 241s would be more friendly
