Are either of you guys, or anybody considering getting the AFR's milled? The stock 66cc 205 head = 10.25:1 compression, while a milled head (say .24 for 62cc) = a much mo' better 11:1 compresion. I undertsand LGM used a set with a 59cc when they initially tested them and always recommends more compression. I do know that with those cams and a milled head, P/V clearance and using the proper cometics gasket becomes an issue.

G5X3 112 has to flycut on stock LS1 heads which are 66.67cc, so yeap you'll have to flycut for the AFR's flat 66cc.
However you could call LOU to make sure, that would be your best bet.

Making good power isn't about matching the best heads on the market and the biggest cam on the market. It's about finding the best combination for your goals.

There was a guy on another forum that did just what you are planning with a 2001 vette and did 449rwhp and 412 torque. Your results may vary.
