Default Banshee head milling??

I have heard that milling a Banshee head is a pretty substantial gain in power for simplicity and money that it costs. My question is how much?? I have heard .010, .020, and .040. Has anybody done this, and how much have you shaved off? What do you recommend, and how much performance does it actually make? Thanks for any info you can pass along.

I milled .040 off my stock banshee head.Then i lapped it flat. I ended up with 150 psi of compression.

I also shaved -.040 off mine. Take your head to a reputable shop and have them mill and rechamber your head. You will see a difference. Why not get your flywheel lightened and have your timing advanced. Those three mods are the best bang for the buck for the banshee.
