Default Thinking about LS6 heads and TR220 in my 5.3.

As the title states, any suggestions. I'm pretty sure I need to mill the heads, but I don't know how much looking for a 10:1 cr. has anyone ran this same setup, if so what gains did you see. Also considering punching the block out to 5.7. Any feedback is good feedback.

I know someone with that set up, he milled the heads .035 to bump his comp. up.... according to the SOTP test, he says its feels good, but no numbers out yet...

i was gonna run a 383 stroker out of my 5.3 and keep my stock 5.3 heads and have them ported and milled .010....if i remember right this was gonna give me close to 11.0 to 1 wich is a little more than your lookin for but you can still run pump gas on it!!

My WCCH 5.3 heads are done but I'm going on vacation so I cant' get them on for a couple of weeks. They are ported and milled .030. Richard said this would yield around 10-10.25 CR.
