Plug your numbers in here:

Assuming zero deck height and 0.040" gasket thickness, you get around 12.0:1 with the numbers you provided above  :o :o
That's assuming the piston dome really does work out to 33 cc.

Color me surprised!  That big bore and stroke really do make a difference.  Note that you need to enter your piston dome cc as a negative number on the Summit calculator...

A careful study of failure will yield the ingredients for success.
