How much HP gain from raising compression?
Say I have a Forged H/C motor running stock compression.
How much would I gain if I were to pull the heads, mill them down and bump compression to 11.5-12:1.
Next question, Say I've got a 200 shot of N20. Would that be too much for that high of a compression?
Car already has ARP Head bolts and Cometic Gaskets.

Approximately 2% for half a point… You really need to find out what your DCR is and what it will be to find out if it will run on 93 octane...

Ok, so you have a big cam that will enjoy having the hose on it. Im not sure what would be a safe bet for a 200 shot on those heads wihtout physically checking. you probably can take a tad more material off, but it might be more trouble than it is worth. Just get a tornado and stuff it in the bellow and call it a day.
