Since you changed your mind on the milling and told them not to do it is it out of the question to send them back and get an unmilled set since that is what you wanted??

When I ordered them I asked to have them milled but then I changed my mind and asked them not to but they still ended up getting milled.

When I spoke to them today they said if I sent them back they would sink the valves.I was told that will mess up the flow and I already waited almost 2 months to get these heads so I don't want to do that.

Well if that is the case then I don't see how that is your fault necessarily.. I would talk with them a little more and surely they can work something out with you. I'm sure someone else would want a set of dart heads that were milled to get their compression up a bit from stock.

Where is AZ are you? What valves did you get? Did you get your heads flowed? I'm interested to see what your combo does, when are you going to be around Tempe/Gilbert/area?

how does sinking the valves hurt performance... the most he told me he could sink them was .040. that would lower compression? would i even notice it

I was told that sinking the valves effects the way the head flows.I don't think you will notice that or the lower compression.How much clearance do you have cause if you are hitting the piston I don't think .040 is enough.
