Milling my heads need comp ratios
I hAve some cnc ported 806's i got for bext to nothing dfor my budget build on my 98 TA. The flow charts from the heads are surprisingly good. 296cfm@.600. Anyway. Im running a GMPP ASA cam (please dont tell me to go bigger. Not gonna) and before I bolt on the heads i wanna mill them to bp up the compression a lil. Gonna be using stock gm gaskets btw. If milled .010 whats that give me??ect.. Looking for 10.5-11:1 if possible. Id like to mill them as much as possible before I have matching issues on the ls6 intake ect.. Please pm me with the answer if u can. I get lost on this site. Lol. Thank you

Thanks guys. And I'll have to look at the glow chart, it doesnt really matter to me what they flow really, I'm stuck with em, lol. they are comparable to the TMS cnc'd 243's flow rates. and I know they will out perform the crap stock 806's on there now. So how much do I mill them to get 11:1?? Remember I'm using stock head gaskets. If anyone has a graph showing mill comp ratios on stock 806 or 241 heads i would appreciate it Thanks for the input guys

I'm assuming you're running the stock flat top pistons with no valve reliefs. If so, with the stock GM head gaskets you need a combustion chamber volume of 60.5cc's. The guys over at TSP told me you decrease combustion chamber volume 1cc for every .006" you remove. I cc'ed my heads before milling them and after milling them. The 1cc for every .006" is right on. You need to remove 6 cc's from your heads which is .036" I'm not real familiar with the castings so you need to make sure it's safe to remove that much material and if you will have intake alignment problems. I think you'll be alright but you will have to probably go with different length pushrods. Also, you should cc them to get a baseline of where your combustion chamber volume is. The heads may have already been cut.

This post is from way back, but still is a good tool. It gives you the CR by chamber size using a sock MLS gasket. It's in Pat G's sticky at the top of this section.
