Default Opening chamber up on 6.0 heads...worth it??

Do you guys think it worth sending my stock 6.0 heads out to WCCH to have the chambers opened up? My CR would be 8.8:1 vs 9.04:1 if I left them totally stock. The cost is $450 to tear them down, hot tank them , valve job, machine the chambers and reassemble them with the new springs which I would buy. That $450 could be used elsewhere. I’m not sure if it’s going to be worth the money. What do you think?

Deff not worth opening the chambers.Hot tank and valve job alone thought is around 200-250..Valve job is always a good idea..

save your money. That money is better somewhere else. I think my CR is like 9.1 to 1.

Opening up the chambers to 74cc without any other porting is not worth the cost. I would use the money else where.
