Default OK...static compression question

Here's the setup.... 350 standard bore 3.48 stroke inverted dome -24cc pistons and fast burn aluminum heads 62cc combustion chambers? What might be my static CR?

not looking for exact figures here but something to go on so i don't have to send 1500.00 on new heads and invest that money in a 5 speed.

All opinons welcome.

Jim

Deck is standard ..as it is a GM crate motor with 7k miles on it. gasket can even go up to .051 i guess

OK, std deck ... BUT what is compression distance/height of -24cc pistons? ... probably in range 1.540"-1.565" ... Also, which gasket P/N do you expect to use. I know you said not exact, but 0.025" here & there WILL make alotta diff in scr.
