LA318 Edelbrock Magnum v RHS LAX Heads
G`day M-Kid,
Grrrreat post, technically I totally agree with your post, in an ideal world, arguably, the 318 is probably not worth pursuing if you want to push the performance boundaries, at least from a financial point of view anyhoo......
In reality most of us are limited in one way or another due to various restraints, budget, knowledge, skillset, responsibilities, time, etc, etc...
I have seen many examples of 318 owners seeking performance gains and decking either blocks and/or heads up to 0.065", chasing compression, to some extent, technically you could argue against many/all performance upgrades...... Not suggesting milling is the best option, but it is an option...... In my case an option I would like to explore further......
Just chasing some actual milling/machining numbers that may have worked or (not worked), for people in the past.......
