I like the idea of AI HCR 241s... they weld the chambers and keep the stock valves to bump the compression without affecting clearance. And the MS3 really needs compression - a lot of compression. Like 11.8:1 to run optimally. So 58.5cc chambers and a .040" gasket paired with an MS3 would be beastly with AI's port program.
If I stay with my MS3 cam; that's exactly what I will be running,only with 61cc chambers. It will put me right at an 11.0:1 compression ratio.

I'd run 58cc. That cam has no advance built into it. Your dynamic compression will be in the toilet even with 11:1.

I just found out that the heads were milled. Unsure how much and I will find out before proceeding but if they are then it will bump the compression more and make it better with the MS3. As of right now I am still planning to run the 241s and MS3. Should go great with my LS6 intake I just installed and some spray which is on the list.

New Info: The heads are milled .035"

SO....I think I may end up with PTV issues. Seriously considering selling the MS3 and buying a smaller cam that will fit better for what I want to do.
