Sorry I dont mean to flood the forum with compression questions but I'm wondering if anyone has Milled the E7's to up the compression? And If so what type of gain did they see?

Or If anyone has a general idea on the increase in HP by increasing the compression.

Thanks!

compression on its own doesn't add huge power. Yes milling them may get you a little power but don't expect anything huge.

As a rule, they say for every tenth (.1) of compression, you will gain 2 HP on a mild street engine.. If you go from a compression ration of 9.0-10.0, you will gain roughly 20 HP, but I'm not sure that's neccessarily true on a flow restricted head like a stock E7.
