You could go with the tfs 205s, they make about 11.5:1 compression have better ptv that stock heads, and flow great. Only downfall is you have to buy rockers for them to work.

Thanks Doc,
Actually there are a lot of 205's on there. Any reason why so many are getting rid of em?

My guess is going larger. A lot of people switch setups yearly. Plus tax time is here.

Anyone know the expected CR on #1 with the ".010-.015" surface milling?

I have seen a lot of positive results from AI here in the dyno section, and will almost certainly go to them for head porting if/when I get a head & cam combo.

Why do you need the AI HCR's? It is my understanding that they are only beneficial when you can not achieve a high enough CR with milling and a thinner head gasket due to PTV clearances. Maybe that is the case with the CR you are looking for, and the cam you are running.
