Heads milled

Chrysler called the chamber the OP has a closed chamber. What the OP gained in power form the CR he lost (and then some) in airflow.

That's about the worst thing you can do to that chamber. I've been telling guys for years to stick the piston out of the bore like Chrysler said, rather than do that. It just doesn't work very well. Even with a 50* seat. Believe it or not, it really likes a 55* seat and a big tulip on the back of the valve.

Where and when? The only closed chamber small block heads I am aware of were the 273 and some of the performance heads such as the W series and all of those were closed around the spark plug area, much like the big block Chevy heads I posted above. Show me the heads Chrysler said were closed chamber.
