Default Milled heads?

Hello everyone. I'm looking at these Stage I heads that I found because they're really reasonable price-wise, flow pretty well as is, and would allow me to swap in bigger valves later. The only thing that potentially worries me is that they are milled .35. Will this lower my compression rating? If so, by how much and will I lose any power? Please help. Thanks...you guys are the best.

On the opposite it will bring your compression up.
So if LS1 heads at .005 for every .1 bump in CR you are looking at ~10.7:1 CR

It will give you more power, but you got to watch out for PVC for your cam.

Damn, I might have to jump on these. I was going to do 5.3's for the same reason, but these might be what I'll do. Do you know what I'd be looking in terms of the ratio? Thank you very much.

Haha, I noticed. Thanks again...I appreciate it. PVC = piston/valve clearance, right? I should be ok with stock valves, right?
