I am looking to get 10.0 to 1 compression in my small block chevy 350 im using 5.7 h beam rods 348 stroke 4130 forged crank and manly flat top pisons with 2 valve reliefs. The heads and intake i am using are from the holley systemax 2 kit 2.02\1.60 valves 66cc aluminum heads and street dominator intake, my big question is how to figure compression ration when using 66cc heads? what is the math involved, i want to know if these .030 over flat top manlys will give me about 10.0 to 1 compression, if the compression ratio is a little larger than 10.0 to 1 thats fine as long as its close

im sure there is a long drawn out math equasion that could give you the answer...but it might be easier to give holly a call tell em your set up..and 9 times out of 10 they can tell you the aprox comp ratio..in a matter of minutes

Pre-Stage has a calculator on their website. There are numerous other calculators on the web, look.

Without knowing the size of the valve reliefs, deck height, and head gasket thickness you won't know for sure. I put in .025 deck height (normal).015 head gasket thickness,(steel) and 4cc volume for the valve reliefs.(guestimation) With 66cc heads this comes out to 10.28:1. You'll know more when you install the pistons and can measure the deck height.

<a href="http://www.kb-silvolite.com" target="_blank">www.kb-silvolite.com</a> also has a compression calc. also a calc. to tell you what piston volume you'll need for what desired compression.
