Default Milling AFR 225's

Inorder to hit my desired compression (11 to 1) I would have to mill the AFR 225's 72cc 50 thou. Does anyone know if that would effect the performance? Alright let me restate that a little. I know it will effect the performance the question is how and how much? Is it worth milling the 225's 72cc or wait for the 225 62cc's?

I don't think you can take the 72 ccs down that much. If i remember right you can only take 36 thousands off......which brings it to a 62cc chamber I think.

not correct.
.036 off would put it closer to 66cc's
