what is a safe CR to go with for a boosted application?
Need some input for FI. 93 LT1 396 going w/ a AT1 D1 or D1SC 12psi max. Desired CR 8.5:1 or 9.1 w/ the piston? Cam choice 233/242 .569/.576 115 LSA. Main area of concern is I don't know the CC on the heads and they were milled 10/1000th. So would it be wise to just go 8.5:1 to be on the safe side?
LT1 heads are 2.00/1.56
Flow chart reads w/ a 190 port volume
Int / Exh
136 132.7
182.4 159
202.3 162.5
220.6 169.2
237.2 175.8
263.7 189.1
270.4 194.1
Could I still use my 918 springs the above cam w/ out a problem? What kind of numbers could I expect to see? Thanks for any input or advice.

No help from FI section. Need a answer please. Stk LT1 heads are 54cc. My heads were milled 10/1000th and have 190 port volume. 2.00/1.56 for valves
Since I don't know the CC on my heads what is a safe CR to go w/ for a boosted application? I want 9.1 but it may be higher since I don't know the CC on the head so to be safe would 8.5:1 be the smartest choice to go with?
Thanks.

Yes the stock LT1 chambers run around 54cc. For a 23 degree type sbc head a rule of thumb is that every 0.007" straight milled equals 1 cc. So your chamber now should measure around 53cc.
If you know your deck height, gasket thickness and desired CR you should be able to calculate piston dish volume.

That calls for a big piston dish something between 25-30 cc for a target CR of 9-9.5.
There is a CR calculator as well some other usfull calculators here:
