Default Raising Compression Question

im building a N/A autocross camaro. currently cammed(.605 lift) and ls6 heads. but I'm thinking of raising the compression to maybe 11-1 or higher. either milling the heads or changing the pistons. anybody do that? and what were the results?

What's your question? Are you asking if anyone has milled their heads or used a dome piston to raise compression, and what happened as a result?

Short answer is yes, and it made more power.

Just milling the heads will bring up the compression and of course more power.

Check out the internal section. I highly recommend the new tick cams.
