    My calculations says it's 12.99:1 using 7cc for valve reliefs (I'm not familiar with that piston).

    Rob,

    Yes, if he has valve relief's in the piston, then you are correct. He did not spec out valve relief CC's or indicate that he does or does not have them, so I did not figure them in. With 7 cc of valve relief, that would cut about a point off of it.
