thats what i would do. i wouldnt want to see u trade away a perfectly good car just to get someones hassle in return. there r plenty of them out there. i think there is just alittle bit of shadyness to this one. and when it comes to cars, if i have the slightest doubt about something, i’d rather pass on it. good luck though, whichever u choose.

i may be wrong and not thinkin of this correctly, but milled heads would leave more room for the combustion of fuel/air… thus lowering compression… good for forced induction, and bad for N/A

i’d say you wanna have less room in the chamber, that way when the fuel/air mixture ignites, if it has less space, it blows the piston down harder (or something like that) and thus, more horsepower

Milling the heads raises compression ratio. By milling you remove material from the heads, decreasing chamber size, and increasing compression. Maybe you’re thinking of ported chambers.

See the before and after pics.
