Compression ratio?
Compression ratio? I would like to know what will my compression ratio be if I had some LS1 5.7 heads milled .20 installed on my car. I plan on using gm head gaskets. Is there a formula to figure this out. I don't remind there being one in the jrp's awesome writeup. Thanks, that was a great write up!

Yep the one many of us are now using is the one above and the one in my sig
BTW I got 10.76. If you want to do this yourself.
Go right down the list with these numbers.

63.34 (66.67 is a stock head. To figure out the new cc of the head you must subtrack for the mill. A common number used is every .006 milled equals a minus 1 cc. You are milling .020 which would make a 3.33 difference.) (Now take 66.67-3.33 which equals 63.34 and that is the new cc of the heads.
