Is it worth it to get the stock heads milled for increased comp. with getting them ported and polished with bigger valves? How much can stock 5.7 heads be milled without causing p/v clearance problems? I was thinking of goin this set up till i get more $$$$ for stage 2 heads. Do you think it will work? What kind of power can i look for with the mods below and a vig. 3200?
Heads milled to maybe .015 (more if possible)
valve job
918 springs
titanium ret.
shortened push rods
stock rocker arms
Either a C1 or TR224 cam
New timing chain
TIA,
Rob

I have my heads milled .040 and am running 555 of lift w/ 2.02 and 1.6 valves. I have no problem at all w/clearance and could probably have a little bit more lift. What you need to consider is what else you will have to change, pushrods, springs, retainers, valve guides. hope this helps
