yea i know another ls6 head question. but can anyone figure out what kind of compression ratio i would be at? ls6...(yes real ls6 heads) milled to 59cc/ or roughly .025, on stock head gaskets, on a lq4 6.0...if not give me a link were i can figure this out. i will be running premium gas anyway, just curious how much compression it would be.......thanks nick

Well, Stock 5.3 heads are 61CC and they net about ~11:1 CR when added to a LQ4. So, you will be above that.
Google CR calculator if you need it closer than that. You'll need to measure how far the pistons come above the deck though...
