if you tell me the CCs on your head,what type of gasket did you use,and if you had your block decked i can figuer out what it is. if you have 64 cc chambers, stantard gasket and a lil bit taken off the deck you will have 10.6:1, if you give me some detales i will tell you.

Cuz the AFR 195's wont work with a stock tune port base manifold. The intake runners have more opening tward the top.

What is the piston compression height(in inches) and the piston volume (in cc's)? What is your block deck height and what gasket are you going to use?
I have a spreadsheet in Excel that will give me the exact CR.
