Compression ratio from 10.1 to...?

If an engine with a factory 10.1:1 compression with a 66.67cc combustion chamber were replaced with heads with a 72cc chamber, what would the resulting compression ratio be? (swapping stock LS1 heads with Patriot Stage II 6.0 heads) thanks!

Yea. Going with steel crank, aftermarket rods, forged pistons, etc and 10-12 psi. Planned, at least.
