Compression
My buddy threw together a 6.0 over the past few days. It consists of a fresh hone, new bearings, stock crank and rods, a set of coated lq9 flat tops, all with stock bolts. Cam is a comp 220/220/114, with a set of home ported/cleaned up 241 heads from his 02 camaro with stock mls gaskets. What kinda compression ratio and power you think this will make?
It's got a built 60e(good clutches, trans go, vette servo, sun shell) stock converter with 4.56 gears.
It's in a 99 ext cab z71 with 33's. Stock exhaust with a borla xr1 exiting in stock location. Stock intake and throttle body and stock air cleaner and tube.
Thanks

Well the factory 6.0 heads are around 71 cc with the 317 heads and the 241 heads are around a 66 cc
Every 7cc is 1 full point of compression so with around 10:0-1 that would put him around 11:0-1
Gasket thickness and any milling would also affect this.
The LQ9 put out around 345 horse at the fly wheel on a stock tune from the factory so it will easily be over 400 at the fly wheel.

7cc per compression point is not always correct, it vary by how high of compression youre actually at. a 16:1 compression engine will change half a compression point with 2cc less combustion chamber...to change an 8:1 compression engine half a compression point it takes 8cc less combustion chamber. not always a good rule to follow
