Default If you mill LS6 heads for 60cc....
If you mill stock LS6 heads for 60cc, will they be strong enough for 11.5:1?
Whats the highest CR for 243 castings?

I have Patriot LS6 style heads with 59cc chambers with 11.5:1 compression.

Not sure of the highest CR for 243's though.

Does PP start with the 243 casting? What PR size are you running?

I'm pretty sure PP starts with raw 243 castings.

I cannot think of my PR length off the top of my head. Sorry.

milling them down to 60 cc will have a very minimal effect on their strength.lots of milled down 243 casting heads ( or 241,ect,ect) running around on high compression.

Damn 14:1 compression is insane.
