Who has done a cut down head?
 
RC but no lie I have cut a real V8 block to a V4 all aluminum ect.
 
I shaved .035" off some ET7E heads using a fly cutter on a Series II Bridgeport mill. Then ported them silly. But never done any RC engine work.

Ok like where ur going with this 😊
Think this kinda stuff is why I get along with you. Just saying
 
I never had the caliber of cars you have, but I had fun getting grease under my fingernails all the same. I doubled the HP on my Mustang with all bolt-ons and some custom machine work. That car tried to get me in trouble every damn time I drove it.
 
bar none biggest power gains with these engines is finding your squish clearance and shaving the button and thinnest shim you can without detonation.

play doh or silly putty...like your doing main bearing clearance on real engines.

Night and day.
