Compression Gain - How Much

I recently swapped out my old 081 iron heads for a set of TFS 305 heads on my Camaro. The old heads had a combustion chamber of 58cc the new heads have a 56cc chamber.

How much compression squeeze did I gain with the new (smaller) head? The factory says the motor is 9.3:1?

Just wondering...

Thanks

All other compression-affecting factors being equal, about 2 tenths of a point. Nothing noticeable.
