Just depends on what you already have. Case by case basis - you’ll need to measure it all. Gasket height, deck height, chamber volume

I'm running 10.75 compression with zero deck height, flat top pistons, felpro head gasket and 59cc heads.
This website is a great tool in helping to give an accurate ratio providing you know what you've got.
