Months ago I had posted here about my second broken timing chain and bent valves, and I decided to do that while the heads were out.........:30' mill and mild pocket port.
Before this my trap speeds at hot weather were easily 106.highs, the highest that I had trapped was 106.998...almost 107.
Now, I'm barely trapping at 106's. My best so far has been a 106.058 and the other times have been 105.xx, including some 104's .............in cold weather so I am kind of dissappointed in that. Maybe you guys will think I'm wrong cuz logically it should help, but that's all I have done diffrent to her and well.......I sure regret in doing it.
It's not that I wanna break your bubble, Kev, but it's just something to think about.
one thing for you to check is the alighnment of the dots for the timeing chain, seems like you messed somthing up there, as far as milling a head higher compression should net faster and better times in the same DA, greggo lost time and mph with his dots not lined up only off 1/4" maybe not that much, open her back up and check everything, headers won't hurt you either so its all in the timing chain position I would think.

I really wish that would be it,....but I'm sure that it's not. And about the headers, that's why I would think that it would've run better nor not less...
If you do decide to do this, I really hope for you to get good results Kevin,.. .
I can't think of something else that can be affecting my truck's performance.
I know the power is good, 381 rwhp.........so then? .....I don't know .

Good luck with everything Kev!
