When I enter all these details into some of the online compression ratio calculators I can't get them to add up ?!?!?

The reason I am doing this is that I want to lower my compression ratio as I'm running a blower. I intend to fit a pair of 121cc cnc ported heads and want to know what CR that would give me.

Any ideas
As long as you run the same head gaskets as the HO502 and the pistons are in fact the same then it would be slighly less than 8.75:1. I am sure an expert will chime in.
