I'd shoot for about 11.2:1 compression ratio if the car's gonna be a daily driver/street/strip......and as high as 12:1 to 12:5:1 cr if it's gonna be more of a race car. Then maybe have LE spec your cam.

Working with your head porter LE) to arrive at the right size combustion chamber, working with your engine builder to determine your engine deck and proper selection of parts (pistons and head gaskets).

FWIW....I'd want the piston to be .005" in the hole (at top dead center) with a head gasket that has a compressed thickness of .030" to .035"....and go from there.
