How much can I mill my heads if the cam specs are as follows: 224/224 .581/.581 112lsa
This cam and these heads are going on a stock 5.7L. Stock rockers with 2.02 and 1.6 valves. The heads are 5.7 liter heads, not the ls6 version. What compression ratio will I yield with your suggestion?

And when I was figuring on using 5.7 heads I came up with about .035 with a thick gasket and about .025" with the thin Felpros. to get me to 11:1. I ended up going with 5.3 and we'll just cc them to 59-60cc.
