Hey guys, I've got a set of E6SE heads and I was wondering how many cc's I would drop for every .010" I mill off? Does anybody know this? I'd like to calculate the compression ratio so I can see how much I should mill off. Also does anybody know how much I can safely mill off these heads? Note I'm shooting for around 9.5 or less for my final compression ratio. Also I won't be running a supercharger, turbo, etc.

Thanks!
david

I am thinking it was 1.5-1.6 cc per 0.010 as a good number to use.. hopefully someone can confirm
