P-man Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 What is better for the money? milled head or a cool head? Does raising the compression really help that much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colby Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 could i get that done locally? Im in fort worth Texas? any machine shop? I wouldnt take it to any machine shop, make sure they know what they are talking about and have done it before. hmain shop in my area won't do it. (He says he thinks he could but never has done it for a customer). But theres gotta be something in Fort Worth that will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What altitude are you at. It really affects the compression reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said 500 ASL would that be somewhere around 145? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar1rules Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 p-man, i can mill your stock head if you want. i've done mine before and some other heads for sleds and such. let me know if you want it milled. then let me know how much you want taken off, if you want me to mill the head.

okbeast Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 150 would be safe w/ pump gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragbanshee Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 yea actually i might be interested, what would .20 raise the compression to here. im at 500 or so feet Ok I finally got them on here had to down size them, but I think you'll be able to see them ok. Feel free to input on these, cause I was told they were .020 but I have no idea, but its clean & straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
