Question How much can I mill my heads? 6.0 HO LQ9

I have a set of 70cc LS6 #243 casting heads with stock valve sizes that will go on my 6.0 HO soon, and I'm trying to figure out how much I could mill these heads with my TSP 228 228 .588 .588 cam straight up. I don't want the PV issues.. I know that with the stock #317 heads(71.06cc) the compression is 10.0:1.. I want to run between 10.8:1 - 11.0:1..

Thanks for the info.

243 casting have a 64.43cc. Add some 2.02 1.57 Ferrera valves (larger than stock) and you compression should be around 10.7 without milling.
