Milling, or shaving the head raises compression by making the combustion

chamber smaller. In a way, the air and fuel charge are making a larger

explosion due to the smaller cumbustion chamber. Therefor making more power.

Also, the more compression you have increases the need for higher octane fuel.

A low octane fuel will burn quicker in a high compression engine causing detonation

which will lead to damage. The octane of a fuel is the resistance of it burning.

 

The aftermarket head has better cooling properties along with the intercangable

domes allowing you to change your compression. And they look cool too.

The best feature with an aftermarket head is the capacity to change domes for desired compression.

 

Of course, if you wanted to you could buy 5 or 6 stock heads and shave them in equal increments, you could have interchangeable heads instead of domes. :yelrotflmao:

I like the steakthy look......Have your stock head O-ringed and have the domes cut out of it so you can put interchangable ones in.... I have seen them on E-Gay...

i think i will go with the after market head because of the better cooling and the interchangeable domes :biggrin:

but the stock head with interchangeable domes is pretty cool :geek:
