Default What would my CR be if....

I go to a .072 thick head gasket, from the stock .054 thickness?

I have .030 shaved LS1 heads with stock bore and stroke.

Thanks for your help in advance :steering:

Your combustion chamber volume should be ~64cc. Based on this you have 10.07:1 cr

PS- a gasket this thick really kills quench.

In the past some have told me I lost about 5cc in the milling. I do not know for sure.
