Front seats? What is the condition and how much shipped to 36027?

Sorry, didn't mean to jack your thread! :hello:

Yeah, the more you mill the block, head or combination of both. The more you increase the compression ratio and quench. In a perfect scenario, this is better for HP and fuel economy, cooler operating temps and such, but usually involves degreeing the cams and balancing and blue printing the...
