As the tittle suggests how much should I get taken of the head? 20,30,40,50 or 60"?

Bump the compression up and I figured while it's being recoed, why not.

go minimum.
The compression is already high enough, take off too much you'll ping and retard the cam timing a fraction.

i think what he means is the timing will retard if you shave the head too much?

the timing shouldnt retard if its a non-vct head

Cam timing will change as the distance between the cam and crank changes but I think it was meant to read ignition timing as the ECU alters it because of knocking.

if you keep good fuel up to it shouldnt that be enough to prvent knocking?? how high could compression really get by just decking the head when you have to allow for distance between the valves and piston with an aftermarket cam?? it would possibly raise to what, 10-10.5 max which the dedicated gas engines run anyway
would ya be able to allow for the retarded timing using adjustable cam gear??

Ive got a vernier gear for it and it will go on the dyno as soon as it goes on.
