Lightbulb Does anyone know how far down you can mill a LT1 head?
Trying to get a 12:0:1 out of my car, so far im at 11:0:1, with a 53cc combustion camber. What is the most any of you have ever heard of mill a head (Keep in mind, safety).

(keep in mind) if you continue milling the head it will get thin to the point of the deck blowing thru under compression. why mill the head when your better off getting a bigger piston?

this guys car is not turbo. . . . . its just your average 383 stroker, with stage 2 head work, BIG cam, all bolt ons, and FULLY FORGED BOTTOM END.
