Default What CR do you come up with?

I have had people tell me all kinds of crazy numbers. Here is the setup.

6.0 Iron block
4.030 Bore
4" Stroke
-2 CC pistons
Cometic .043 head gaskets
241 Heads milled .030 with 2.02 valves

I figured it to be 12.3:1 but I am not 100% positive if the pistons are .008 out of the hole like they are on a 5.7 liter.

using these specs
4.030 bore
4.00 stroke
.043 gasket thickness
4.04 gasket bore diameter
62.37 combustion chamber(approx size when milled .030)
-.008 deck height
-2cc pistons

I get 12.6. this will be an approx. as the pistons are out of deck on the iron block and the amount the deck is surfaced and final out of hole height of the piston will effect it some, though not much. bore size of the gasket will also effect is some though again not much.
