if i get my heads milled .030, will i have to get my intake milled as well for everything to still line up right and seal? i dunno if this is a noob question or not but i was just lookin at a picture of a bare engine and visualized it. seems like it would?

Don't need to touch intake, you are going
to mill the bottom part, no need to mess
with the intake.

If he went further then .03 he would have to. Milling the bottom of the heads brings the intake runners closer to the deck which brings the intake REALLY close to touching the velley cover. It is close stock. With .03 you will be fine anymore and you need to start measuring.
