Milling heads will increase compression which increases HP and Torque. The cam determines at what rpm.

hmm..the only other thing i was concerned about is rasing the compression 2 high plus low rpm strain will increase the chances for detonation..what a 10.5:1 be unreasonable for a bronco..my concern is that that is cheap easy power while i got it apart but i dont want it pinging under load..also rember i dont want to be putting anyting higher than 89 in this gas guzzling beast

10.5:1 is pretty high for a motor with iron heads, especially on only 89 octane. With iron heads I'd strive for 9.5:1 compression, and aluminums you'd be able to run closer to 10.5:1. Running premium gas would still be a good idea.
