Default Compression Ratio estimate help

I am building a new motor and here are the stats:
.040 over 350 motor
Flat top pistons with the small 4 valve relief
vortec heads with 64 cc compression chamber
Head gaskets have compression of 9cc
Can someone help out with what my compression ratio will be?

It's would be around 9.6:1. It's an estimate since I don't know if your block is decked, I used 0,025" below deck. And I presumed that the piston have 6 cc with the four notchs.
