I don't think you want more compression with the A6 - Y8 combination... doesn't putting the two together yield crazy high compression?!?!? calling all mini-me experts...

a6 block and y8 head---commonly refered to as "mini-me"--is supposed to be a compression ratio around 11-1. don't mill the head..you already have enough compression and milling the head will only put those valves closer to pistons that don't have properly configured reliefs in them. as to what "you will run" without knowing ANYTHING about your setup other than the engine i would say it is impossible to even guess a time for you BUT i will tell you that this cylinder head swap (and intake manifold) dropped my 1/4 times by .6 to .7 second....this isn't the miracle power boost that you might think it to be but it does make the engine feel a bit more powerful for only a limited amount of $$$

No, compression on it will be around 10.3-10.4:1. Not really that high. If you go with 86-87 Integra pistons you'll get around 12:1. I really don't know why people think the head boost compression so much, only about 1 point.
