How much can I mill?
2003 5.3 shortblock and am putting on 241 heads .051ish gaskets, would like to have 9.5:1 compression. Gonna be turbo on E85 and I'm just wondering if anyone knows how much you can mill a 241 and not run into problems with intake ports lining up. I have an LS1 intake. Thanks ahead of time.

I have my 241s milled down to 57cc chambers (somewhere around .040"). If I were you id just do a clean up mill on the heads and run a thinner head gasket to keep a tight quench, around a .040" gasket.

Go to the forced induction section as you will get more answer due to your unique request to raise static compression on a FI motor on fuel that can be inconsistant.
- By trying to mill your shrinking your window of safety when it comes to tuning and survivability of the motor.
