How much can you cut a head Ford 2.3

[boportt]

go big or stay on teh porch. if ur buddy cuts 160 then u gotta cut 180 thats how u gotta race

[steveshawjr]

im talking to the car owner right now he dosent like the idea to much anyways so im looking at maybe 150 flat mill for now so if i ever have to go a bit more i can.

thanks guys for all the info im sure ill have some more qestions on some things soon

[that dude]

before i'd go decking the head more,
do your rules say anything against decking the block?


decking the block down some if you haven't done so already, wouldnt' that increase ratio as well?

[soonersublime]

Mock mount the pistons and zero the block up to w/in .005 and no more or less. Should be fairly close already. Any more than that and you will have issues. Don't overdue the milling of the heads. More compression is all good but you start getting into more issues once you get past 13:1 then you want. Let alone the fact that you don't get as much HP out of that as you might think. It's worth doing though. I like a good zero deck block the .029 cometic multi-layer head gasket. .150 off head. Then run straight 110 racing gas and get ready to rock n roll out there.

must retain .000 deck hight is what it says in our rules

and then you can also get the really thin Cometic head gasket from race engineering,the newest one is a MLS at .018 thin and only $79,which isnt bad considering it is re-usable.
