Default Your Best Setup and CR.. Milling, HGasket, etc

Basically:

How much did you mill your stock heads, or what CC did you mill them to?
What gasket/thickness did you use?
What did your compression ratio end up at?
Any Flycutting or clearance issues? (cam specs please)
And are you happy with the results?

THANKS!

Ha! Yeah, I have done alot of research and came across more than one other post of yours on this subject. Thanks for the heads up. Basically just trying to see what everyone has and how they like, then I will use that info toward my setup. Wanna get somewhere around 11:1, prob gonna run Cometic .040 gaskets...... We'll see.

The keys are to get a good quench, factor the cam in your max compression calcs (DCR), and watch your PTV.
