Can anyone tell me how many thousandth's you need to cut the head to raise the compression ratio a 1/2 point??

the stealth is a closed chamber so it would be a different amount cut per cc

.040" equals about 7cc. How much that means depends of your engine displacement and the initial comprssion ratio. Effects on a 7.5:1 600 cu in engine are quite different to a 14:1 383.
