oops, pistons are endyn rollerwaves 12:1 compresssion. will this make a difference? how far would i have to advance the gears to make up for the milling? isnt the ratio like 0.012 milled = 1 degree retard? so i would be starting off at like ~3 degree retarded correct?

You should be cool. Just make sure to check clearances with the high lobe engaged.

We run bigger cams and advanced the intake about 6 degrees with no problems.
