Default Will My Compression Be Way *** To High???

I completely forgot about a few factors when I started building this motor. Now I fear I may be fuckzored.

Specs:

Sohc Zc block:
Arias 11.5:1 comp pistons
Forged rods (havent bought, probably will)
Just a quick light hone and new crosshatch
Micropolished and balanced crank
New OEM Bearings and rings

D16A6 Head:
Milled .040
3 Angle valve job
1mm Oversized Valves
Ferrerea Retainers
Dual Titanium Valve Springs
Delta 272 Cam, cam gear

When I bought the pistons today I was a moron and completely forgot about my 1mm oversized valves and 40 thow milled deck.

Can anyone give me a good estimate or even exact with some sort of compression calculator on what my compression is going to be?

I was planning of building the motor for nitrous, but If my compression is going to be 13:1 then there isnt to much room for nitrous lol, maybe a 55 shot tops.

If I did go all motor, would I need to upgrade the stock pistons?


Any advise appreciated, loved, grateful

Thanks

according to the calculator, my new engine's CR is around 12.29:1 which i consider liveable (i love the torque of this thing).
get the specs on those pistons.

why do you wanna mill the head? I would try and get it closer to 12. I ran 12 to 1 compression on street gas so its doable. I think you would benefit more from a port job then higher compression.

NONONO

The headwork is already done.

I guess Ill have to get a thick ******* headgasket or something. The highest gas we have here is 91. Also how much would the 1mm oversize raise compression?

Im thinking of getting so beefy rods and spraying a 100 shot, but I think race gas would be in order lol. Just paid for the pistons yesterday.

Maybe I could find a smidge shorter rods?

try and find a thicker gasket. is this a street car, weekend car, or racecar? I would hate to have to spend on race gas for a street car. I've seen dynos of big power dseries with stock bottom ends so yours should be dope.

Daily driven street car lol. I just got so caught up in wanting a built motor that I didnt think of the practicality.

I think a nice fat 3 layer headgasket will bring the compression down. Or I can always sell the pistons get some 10:1

I dunno, you think my compression will be over 12.5:1 with this setup? Im gonna be detonating like a ****** with nitrous

No matter what Im doing a 55 shot just for security when the rare person around here with a swap comes along

I think with a nice intake mani/header and some tuning I can put down some good numbers + nitrous.

Havent figured out which system I would like to use yet, probably Hondata w/ Nitrous Controls

On a budget though

How much whp you think I can get n/a?
