Default compression calcs

Greetings all. New here and would like some help. Want to verify compression ratio.
Here's the plan.
113" TC in a bagger
4.065" bore
stock reworked cyl heads with&nbsp\\;89cc combustion chamber
4.375 stroke
R&amp\\;R .615 cams (47° intake close)
.030 head gasket
Flat top pistons-JE
When using a comp calculator do I list 2cc for the valve reliefs in the piston dome field?
Looking for 10.5:1 static and 9.3 or 9.4 corrected.
Am I close? Will this be a "ping monster"?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks, that is a great calculator. My numbers were very close, so with a proper tune, should not ping.

You will be fine. That cam loves 10.8 comp and it wont ping as long as the tune is in decent order!

Make sure deck height and squish is in order, get a good tune and you will never have a problem!

10.5 to 1, 47 degree intake close, good bathtub heads? CCP at 195. With the BB you should have plenty of quench.. If FI find a good tuner. Bike should run fine.
