Just pushrods if you get the heads milled. IMO you should throw a set of new lifters in there while you are at it. They are going to be right there and I know I would be kicking myself if I started getting lifter tick in a couple of months when I could have gotten new ones in there.

shaved .030 how much of a increase in compression are you looking at. Im looking for around 10to1 compression how much do i need to shave them down to achieve that compression

30 will bump you close to 10:1 probably a hair over, I dont have the compression height for a stock rotating assembly to figure it for sure but ~10:1 is what you will get.
