Default Head mill question?

I have a stock bottom end 5.3 that I'm putting a torqer v3 cam and a potted set of 241 heads. My buddy i bought the heads from had them ported but didn't have the heads milled they were jus planed to ensure flat surface the porter messured them at 63 or 62 cc I read that the 5.3 are somthing like 58cc or there about. So should i have these heads milled to get the cr back close to stock or even a little higher or leave em alone. I am just worried about ptvc with the heads milled.

If your old heads (241's) are 64 cc and your new ones are 58cc, how will milling them bring the cr back to a stock 241 head cr?

The 241's are 63cc the stock heads on a 5.3 or around 58cc I'm putting the 241's on the 5.3

I would get ls6 heads, that way you don't have to mill as much to try to get bak that compression...they will flow better too

if u already have them then yes mill them down to about 59cc and slap em on. if u dont have them or didnt buy them yet then hold off and look at some 243's which can be bought for cheap these days and mill them down.
