My heads are milled .030 and the chambers are 64cc heads.. im trying to see whether to step it up to +dome pistons to get me 12:1 compression.

The domed piston will still have valve reliefs cut on them, but you would really have to worry with as much as yo have milled the heads. You would DEF need a piston that has an L92 valve pocket on it. They increase the CR quite a bit. I have used them before and put them in a tbss with some trick flow heads in a 402. It moved pretty quick til the stock 4l70 broke.
The biggest issue is not knowing the PTD height/clearance. That will affect CR quite a bit as well as quench and piston to head clearance. With a domed piston, you normally do not have to worry about it effecting the quench as most of it is contoured to the chamber, but the pistons are set up en mass. They wont know every difference in every block or even if the deck height is the same side to side. That is up to the machine shop.
A few more things to think about. You can just get an aftermarket small chamber LS3 casting and work from there. If you mill any more you may run into other unforseen issues.
