Yet another question!
I know theres a formula to calculate this I just dont know where to find it thanks.

Woops I meant to say raise compression not lower in the topic!
 
I calculated about a half a point increase when swapping to TW heads and .039 Fel Pro Gaskets, but it sure seems like more, the TW chambers look a lot smaller than 6cc difference from the E7 heads... swapping gaskets aint gonna give you much though, definitely not worth the trouble.
