I have put about 30+ bottles though the 4.8,I spent all my coin on the motor and the machine shop and parts. The tune is always on the fat side,and I run TR-6 plugs.

SO....any ways,the cam is 228R with a 110LSA,this thing should chunk very good.

Could I mill a set of 799's .030's and still get away with using the stock intake?

 

Every one keeps saying to mill the heads or dont mill the heads,could you reuse the stock intake without any mods?

 

Well run what you got and just keep an eye on tune, you should be alright.. i think you can mill .030 and not run into any intake fitment issues.. if you mill more than that you will probly startto have problems.

 

Theres that much room to play with the intake? DAAAMMMMEE

 

yeah, you can usually mill them about .030" without fitment issues. Anymore than that and it starts to get alittle tight. I just remembered your running 799 heads, they will be a boost in compression already in stock form.. What compression ratio are you shooting for?

 

People have gone .050" without issue...

 

I was trying to look around to find CC and ratios for the heads,I could only find that the stock 317 heads had 71cc chambers and the 799 heads I think had found that they were a 61 or 60cc heads,which would be,as you said be perfect for what I got going on and I would not cut em down.

 

Yeah, i would leave them alone and only mill maybe ".010 if you had to clean them up alittle.

 

The 799 heads are junk......gonna go back to using the stock 317's and mill.020's off em, I know those heads are good and not re welded like these 799's I got,turns out the 799's came off a envoy 5.3 engine and had a cracks in side the intake ports,got my money back and gonna use em towards the ending price.

 

Dang that sucks, atleast you caught it before you bolted them on.. the 317's will flow well, just mill them like you said to bring the compression up alittle and let it ride.
