Default What is my Compression?

Okay I don't know how to do the calculations that will give me SCR and the DCR of an lsx.

I'm currently just looking around on the classifieds for heads to buy and came across a TEA 5.3 with 58cc chambers.

What would it be with this build:
TEA 5.3 58cc chamber heads (didn't buy just wondering if it will be ideal for my setup)
.060 MLS gasket
TSP 383 kit with Wiseco -8cc pistons
TSP Torquer v2 cam.

I'm just asking to see if this head would give me good SCR that is not too high since this will mainly be my DD and would only like around 11:1 SCR running on octane 93.

is there anything in that list that you might recomend changing, swapping for another part?

This one will give you the SCR, but not DCR.

There is one here that will give you DCR.

It just took a little searching.
