Bad Azz truck and videos BTW

milled the heads to .055 and used a thinner head gasket but u could just mill .06. Then just for safety we fly cut the pistons intake side for valve relief.

i been wanting to try this for a very long time specially when i was running the stock 6.0, i personally think this would have been the piece of the puzzle i needed to capture that 10 sec *** NA.
