Depends directly on just how much dome volume. Were your pistions off-the-shelf, and if so do you recall the brand? That info might get us close to an educated guess.
FWIW, if that 219 is your cold cranking pressure, your DCR may likely be on the high side for pump gas, and might indicate you could increase your cam's duration...

I do not think it can be accurately done on an assembled engine. Below is a link to some formulas
