Help figuring out my head/cam combo
I need some help trying to figure out what to do about my heads! They are PRC LS6 stage 1 not milled. I am confused on what to do, but I am not really trying to spend a boat load more money. When the motor was put back together the compression ratio is fairly low. I believe it is 9.9 to 1 or 10.0 to 1. The car dynoed 438hp with the below mods and I am wanting a little more on motor before I spray it. Can anyone tell me what they would do if it was there car? Mill the heads how much? Buy 5.3 heads? Or?
I am leaning more towards just milling the heads down but not sure how much. And I know that will be the cheapest route and I don't believe anything wrong with that plan. I would love 460hp out of the combo with just milling the heads but I think that is a little much to ask for, right?
MODS
Forged Mahle Pistons(-4cc reliefs)
EPS 234/246 111lsa
TEA Valve Springs
TEA hardened pushrods
PRC stage 1 LS6 Heads
Fast 90/90

get the 22 rwhp that he's after and it would be a fair amount of work when
he could just up the pill by .010 more and WALLAH..artificial cylinder pressure
Leaving the static comp a tad low does offer a safety margin for NOS.

mill the heads ,ask Geoff at EPS how much.ask geoff what head gasket to use.don't port a fast TB.maybe try to port match the intake to the head,align the head/intake port floor closely which mite require different intake gasket thickness.E85 requires too much work for a little gain NA,it works great with boosted.you don't want to mill you heads too much or you cam won't clear.

what work does e85 need thats to hard for that car? a set of injectors? thats the cam geoff spec'd for the combo on the car it needs a bump in compression or better cyl heads in general
