5.3 max compresion

My first LS build. aluminum 5.3 LC9. What do you consider maximum compression on 93 octane pump gas?
So far I have Texas speed CNC 799 heads at 62cc. Although I haven't CC'd them myself yet.
thanks for your help,
Lewy

If the camshaft events are correct, you can go 12.46:1. I’m at 12.42:1 on 93 exclusively.
Chamber efficiency and coatings can affect this number also.

Vehicle weight affects this number as well. Car vs truck etc...
