Gringing (?) TPI heads

Hello,

As my english is not that good i'm not sure if gringing is proper word, but what i want to ask is how much can be removed from head surface of stock TPI heads (305 and 350 engine), we want to get more compression on engine with stock pistons and heads so grinding (or however it should be callsed) is the easest way

can anybody give me numbers how much to remove ??

best regards

In the u.s.,that modification is known as "milling the
heads"-I am not sure how much can be milled off
before there is a danger of hot spots forming or
distortion of the head surface.
Stock heads do benefit,airflow wise,from a good porting
job-really helped on my car
