Default b20 with b16 head, compression question?

just wondering if after i do my head swap (b20b with b16 head) what will my compression be? i will be using a stock honda head gasket and stock rods and pistons for now. i know that the stock compression for the b20b is 8.8:1 but not sure how much of a bump ill get from the b16 head.

To be accurate you would need to measure the chamber volume.You can get pretty close by reducing the deck height by .030.(to 0.00 I believe)
