How much does my intake need to be milled??

My block was Zero decked and the heads were milled 40-50 thousands. Anyone have a formula to get it close?

If you have it al apart, just drop the intake off at the machinists with the heads and have it all port matched. Money well spent.

Heads are bolted to the block. The intake has been (touched up a bit) I just want the bolts to line up and for it to seal.

I thought the stock heads could only be milled up to 20 thousands?

Mine have had the **** milled out of them. I bought them used. They came off of Nitro Dave's car, then Saint's. They were ported by MTI, then Dave had more work done, I don't know about Saint, but I had them cleaned up also. Thats at least being milled 3 times and they come in at 49-50 cc's so you do the math...
