Default 5.3 LM7 compression ration with 66cc heads?

Ok so I know the stock compression ratio on an lm7 is 9.5:1 (with factory 61cc heads). My plan is to mill my lq4 heads (71cc in stock form) .030" to end up with 66cc's. With a gain of about 5cc's in doing this what would I be looking at in terms of my new compression ratio? I know its lower than 9.5:1 but by how much?

Im not 100% sure, but im guessing around 9.3:1. I added flat top 4.8l pistons in place of the dished 5.3 pistons and came up with a CR of around 9.7:1.
