What cam are you looking at running? Reason I ask, we can mill the heads to match the cam if you like and bump the compression up a little higher.

Your setup will have a compression of ~10.3:1 with stock MLS gasket and stock LQ4 short block.

We can do a Stg.1 6.0L head that will have a 72cc chamber as well if you like.

You could change pistons and get some more dish (negative volume) to bring it down. Or for a more cost effective way to go and alot less work, you could sell those LS6 heads and get the 6.0L heads with the bigger chamber like Jon said. That'd be alot less expensive than new rods, pistons, machine work, balancing, assembly, etc!
