Mill Trickflow heads? I need help deciding on if I should mill the heads for an ls2 build. One person is telling me if I mill to 61cc from 65cc that the ptv will be ~.068 and I will need valve reliefs. Another shop is telling me ptv will be fine and they definietely recommend milling. Can anyone help me make a more informed choice? Would you mill the heads or possibly just run a thinner gasket? (I am going to be using either TFS as Cast 220, but most likely the 225's): Also, I had this cam specd when I was planning on initially using the stock heads so shouldnt there be more ptv with trickflow heads? Thanks for any help.
