ET 215's. Help calculating my compression?
Hey guys, need some help. There have been no mill to the heads yet. I have .075 out of the hole using .045 cometics. I verified my clearance and I have alot on the intake and about .192 on the exhaust. What would my current CR be? If needed, how much could I mill and be safe without fly cutting. The cam is a monster and I can't believe I have this much clearance available. Thanks in advance!

First did you really mean .0075" out of the hole with what pistons? Stock or aftermarket. If aftermarket what CC reliefs do they have?
What size combustion chambers did you get?

Hey Joey, Yes YOU! And yes, I decided what the heck, it was a piece of cake to pull the motor with everything off so I just popped in some forged stuff.

Is there anyone from ETP on the forum to answer this? I really like the heads, but I also really like the support/response from guys like Tony Mamo at AFR. Might be the difference between which set of heads I eventually buy.

Hey guys, good luck with getting them to answer your requests or emails. I have sent both PM's and emails and none of them get answered. You would think they would be more than happy to assist one of their customers but hey, guess NOT!
