Is that for your Zl1? If so you shouldn't. If you want power pulley down.

+1

You mill the heads to GAIN compression. When you're boosted, you typically want lower compression so you can run more boost, safely. If you want more power from a blower motor, you swap pulleys.

little88 is correct. Do NOT mill the heads for FI....there are a ton of other mods you can do for as much power as you desire.
