LS6 heads and 231/231 a buddy of mine is cutting me a SWEET deal on NIB tsp 231/231 .598/.598 112. i'm planning on putting a set of 243's on there at the same time. i just stumbled on the Christmas special that patriot perf. is having and their brand new 243's for $350 look too good to pass up!!!
my question is... should i have the heads milled for a slight bump in compression? or should i just go the thinner gasket route? or both? or neither? i'm totally up in the air on what the ideal setup would be with this cam. am i looking at any PTV issues by doing any/all of this? i've been trying to pay attention to all the DCR -SCR talk on here but i am by no means versed in any of it!
what do you all think would be my best route to a hard running stoplight/ highway pounder?
i'm gonna call Patriot tomorrow and see what they tell me, but i'd really like to hear what some of you have to say...
thanks

70.5 IVC @.006 11.0:1 SCR / 8.4:1 DCR +2 advance 110 ICL
68.5 IVC @.006 11.0:1 SCR / 8.5:1 DCR {this is if the cam is +4 advance installed 108 ICL }
