PorscheDoc's photo gallery 		Lol, the pros.....increased compression.  The cons....if you go too far, pistons meet valves.

PorscheDoc's photo gallery 		Octane change will do absolutely nothing unless you alter the cam timing, and move the pickup sensor plug on the flywheel (both would require extensive modification). 

Even milling the head you are not going to notice much change in performance.  The NA motors are what they are.  You will spend a lot of money trying to get any additional hp out of them.
