Default cam and heads upgrade, some questions...

hey guys dropped off my car this weekend, to get cam and heads done on 06Z. going with a katech 110 cam, and wanted to know how much to mill the heads. ive read and searched a lot of how to get approx. 11.5:1 static and most are saying around .030 milling. Also Im prolly gunna have shorted rods, but the 110 cam lift is not that high, so i might have more room to go .040 on miling.
For those running this compression would you have gone higher, and at what fuel? im going to be running pump gas 91oct
Any info would be great

Thats a small cam. Effective compression will be high, so the amount of milling you can get away with and still have good timing will be less than if it were a big cammed car. Id mill .030.

yea its a mild cam, i know bigger cam would make more peak whp, but i like the quality of this cam especially because its a hollow cam. and i want something more driveable.
would you know how good 91 run on high comp on these cars? thinking about going e85 later, but i dont want to re mill the heads later.

ultimately its up to your tuner.... Id mill .030, as that cam is still going to have a hard time reaching a nice MBT on 91 octane with out the milling.
