Pistons are most likely -1.5cc, but what are the heads cc's and how far in the hole are the pistons?

you need to find out the dome cc,and actual chamber cc.HP/TQ increases from getting the heads done will depend on who does the heads.a good porter can set your heads at any compression ratio right at 10.25-1 if that's what your looking for

The OP does need head CCs and deck height but for planning purposes can use 85cc for chamber volume and .005"-.007" for deck height. However, sounds like the JE pistons are domed to generate 10.25 static, probably 6cc. The link you provided to the BB compression calculator should help the OP answer his own questions.
