Mill the head, to increase the compression ratio. Best bang for the buck. Helps power and economy, both. |

Vote #2 for a compression increase... and do a little "pocket porting" work and a good valve grind while the head is off. Have you ever run a compression check on your engine? If so, what are the current psi readings? DD |
