I just want to verify my calculations: I have a 355, 30 over, my pistons are 10 in the hole and my heads are milled to 64.1cc's. What do you calculate my compression to be?

What is the compressed gasket thickness? (.039") Need to know the size of the valve reliefs and the size of the dome if any.

Sounds a whole lot like the one I'm building, right down to the .010" in the hole. I calculated it at 10.31:1.

Glen,
Whats your build up?
