Cooled head or Milled head!

[bansheeryder21]

How much more power will a cooled head give you than milled head? Which do you prefer? I know cooled head is more $$$! Is the power worth the $$$? Help me out!

If you think you will ever want to try race gas, get a 4 mill, play with compressions, want better cooling, want to be able to pull the head (maybe to check out your cylinders) without buying new gaskets, want some bling and maybe a little different power or more power get a noss head.

 

If you just want some more compression you can get it mill .030". If you want a different dome shape or enough compression to run race fuel, you'll have to pay for the domes to be cut too. And, if your motor goes you'll be buying a new head and paying for that work again. A set of domes is $60.

 

I wish I bought an aftermarket head a long time ago. Would have saved me a ton of money now.

getting a cool head is better off in the long run, no matter what you do to your stock head the fact remains the same it's still a "stock head" if you get serious with wrenching around on your 'shee having the benefit of o-rings instead of gaskets is worth the cost of the new head alone
