Default head shave

Brady 1st Class: tell you how to do it on the cheap
Brady 1st Class: pop that head off and get it shaved .00030 thirty thousand's of an inch
Brady 1st Class: that should put you at about 10.5 compression to 11.0
Brady 1st Class: put in a new cam
Brady 1st Class: bam
Brady 1st Class: slap that bad boy back on
Brady 1st Class: that WILL get you more than 260
Brady 1st Class: but you would have to run on premium



is this a good idea and whats the cost?

Default RE: head shave

First thity thousands of an inch is 0.030, you wrote 3 tenths (0.0003).

If you want to stay N/A then you want to bump compression. If you plan on boosting it in one way or another, you want to lower your compression.

Plus 0.030 is a lot to shave off. I would do some calculations to see how much you actually need to take off to raise the compresion if you want to.
