Default L99 Piston Volume?

Does anyone know the volume of a L99 piston? Im trying to figure out the compression for a pair of heads I might buy.
I've done a search and looked on the web, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks!

I’m guessing the valve notches to be about 2.5-3 cc since the compression is 10.3.1 whereas the LS3 is 10.7:1
Allows for the variable cam timing phaser

Very close estimate and pretty much spot on. https://help.summitracing.com/app/an...id/4873/kw/l99 has a link to L99 engine specs. You'll also find info on over 50 other Gen. 3/4/5 LS/LT/Vortec/Ecoboost3 RPO codes. Just type in the rpo code in the search box and a list of applicable articles will pop up.
