I know that i should use dyno time to really tune the car perfectly, but starting off after the install, how should i set the gears with my head being milled .050?

i've been wondering this alot too, im getting my head milled 35 thousands and i don't know exactly where to start.. (btw with 50 thousands have you had any clearance issues?) my car will sound like, bumbabumbubavrooooooooooooooomrooooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhh, kishhhhhh www.dsmregistry.com/detail.php?carid=643 VW= The joy of driving DSM= The frustration of fixing

whaaaaa 70 thousands holy schnickies i was under the impression it was 40 thousands before the valves enter the seats in the pistons... so your compression is 11.6:1 have you had alot of tuning problems with that? Im going really mild at 10.5:1 so that way if i ever win the lottery i can still turbo but with lo-comp pistons it would put me back at stock compression *back on topic haynes manual lists 40 thousands clearance when i was reading through it one day. I can't tell you how many shops said they wouldn't mill my head because we have "no clearance heads" my car will sound like, bumbabumbubavrooooooooooooooomrooooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhh, kishhhhhh www.dsmregistry.com/detail.php?carid=643 VW= The joy of driving DSM= The frustration of fixing

well I'm assuming since his car does run and he did have it milled 50 thousandths, eventhough timing may be shitty w/o the gears right now, it's safe, atleast in his case, well it works atleast I mean and I believe every 20 thousandths forwards 1 point of compression, therefore since stock compression is 9:6, that would put him at 12:1 according to my math. Which means when we put those gears on man, it'll take a bit of tuning, but I'm sure you will like the difference.

from all that i have read every four thousands is a 0.1 of compression so 20 thousands would be 10.1:1 and my 35 thousands will be about 10.5:1 (just like mike) my car will sound like, bumbabumbubavrooooooooooooooomrooooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhh, kishhhhhh www.dsmregistry.com/detail.php?carid=643 VW= The joy of driving DSM= The frustration of fixing
