How much deck is removed when milling
Asked this in the tech section but thought it would make sense to get it here...
On AFR 225's... when milling from a 72cc to 68cc, is there enough of the deck removed that the advantage of the thicker deck gets wasted, specifically, in high 18+psi boost applications?

The heads are from a 3rd party whose already got the chambers down to 68cc. He's local so I can havem in no time. I'd prefer the 72cc for sure.

No effect milling 225's out of the box to what you want to do. The deck thickness is huge on 225's.
Nick sorry to read about your heat issues, sounds like a real simple fix.
Tell Lisa I said hi and I hope you both have a great New Years.
