Shaving Head to Increase CR on a B230FT ?

posted by  someone claiming to be Bob on  Tue Jun 11 19:15 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Milling the head will increase power, but it won't do anything for the turbo lag. It will also make it difficult for you to run much more than stock boost, and would probably result in detonation ('pinging') under full boost conditions. The compression ratio of the turbo motors is purposely lower than that of the n/a motors for this reason.

You have a non-interference engine, and no amount of 'shaving' will change that. ;-)
