Default Milling heads, how much...

Running the TR 224 cam, installed straight up, how much do i need to shave off the stock 5.7 heads to get an 11:1 comp and can i do it w/out P2V problems??

How much can be taken off with this cam?

TIA,

Charlie.

Take .030" off. You'll be right at 11:1, and P2V should be fine. Thats roughly the equivalant of taking .015" off the 5.3 castings, and I had plenty of P2V clearance when I measured.

Andrew change your sig to reflect the bad valves my soon to be new heads have.

And yes, I am trying to get the right decking info so i can finish these puppies once they are off your car....
