head milling question
I have ported LS6 heads with 64cc chambers and an MS3 cam. the pistons I am putting in have -2cc valve reliefs. would milling the heads to 60cc's be too much? I am wanting to raise compression to make a little more power. I plan on running a 150 shot of nitrous sometime in the future.

i think a mill of .015 would be ideal for you. correct me if im wrong, but i think that should get you to 62cc's = 11:1 comp with some cometic .040 head gaskets. with that, you should still be able to run 91 pump gas.

edit: ^^ that was for stock pistons. for -2cc pistons, i believe you would want a .030 mill to achieve 11:1 compression (if thats what your looking for).
like nemeSS said, always check PTVC just to be sure.

i believe you will get 11:1 with a .030 mill. hopefully someone else can verify that.
its always nice to check PTVC just to be sure and have that extra feeling of safety, but... you dont have to.

theres an even better one in some sticky.. it has like DCR and SCR based on valve events and some other BS like that. Also you could mill them .020 then run .030 gaskets and that would be very close to milling .030 and running .040 gaskets (granted your using stock .052 or .054's now). Because then if there was a problem, you could swap in thicker gaskets like the .040's and youd be golden.
