How much can stock heads be milled safely?
I'm gonna get me an extra set of heads soon (4-5 weeks, depends on cash flow!). So, I was wanting to know how much I could get my heads milled? How much power am I looking at getting milled heads vs. not getting them milled? I really am thinking about getting a procharger or kenne bell next year. Would that affect my choice a whole lot?
I will also be adding an ASP Crank Pulley, flex-a-lite 292 electric fans, and 3.90 or 4.10 gears w/ Eaton.
I figure after all that I should be running low-mid 14s in the quarter and around 310-320rwhp (w/o a blower)
Thanks!

Mine are milled .050 and no clearence issues. I hear you can go up to .070 on them but with your cam I would be very careful about valve clearence. With stock bottom end and my heads milled .050 it brought my compression to @10.3:1.
