Sups guys I going to get my heads milled but not sure to what though. It's for 5Three and its my DD. and I will be running E85. So far I have a .550 cam, Cai, and a stall. Plan on getting header and my tb ported pretty soon
But with my setup what should I get my heads milled to?

 

.035 would be enough for your setup..thought bout getting a tbss intake and 90mm tb?

 

Would a tbss give me more hp or torque

 

i got an intake for sale only 3000 miles on it.

 

.030 is max i feel safe about milling heads and avoiding intake sealing issues. a tbss intake is best on a more modded 5.3 with 243 heads or larger cubes of 6.0 but on his built, the regular truck would work best.

 

I just did a set of 862's on my truck and milled them .030, it runs out pretty good and I would say .040 max for milling but honestly .030 will get you right about 10.1-1.0 compression on a 5.3 with dished pistons and stock gaskets...which I have found stock gaskets to actually be .047 compressed and not .051. I say mill'em .030 and run'em!

 

Plenty of people, including myself, have .050" off without any ill side effects. Just throwing that out there...

 

Well I got them milled .015
