It should be possible and run a smaller PR, I thought about it(I have 317's on my LS6) but the CR on a stock ls1 w/ 241's is 10:1 and w/ the 317's it would be 9.5:1. So about 10-15 horsepower gain in having them milled down.

What about some 317's milled .030? What CR would that be on a LS1? Sorry to steal your thread.

That's about the agreed amount to get them to 243 specs.

Are you serious? They told me not to put them on my 5.3 because i would lose compression.
