I don't know about the MS4 but, I run the PRC heads with 2.02 valves and a T Rex cam. I measured the ptv and decided to flycut. Could not be happier... Flycut if you need to, raise the compresion and have some fun...

As you increase valve size, the probability that you'll need to flycut your pistons goes up.

You'll need to flycut with valves any bigger than stock with an MS4. In fact, to get a "safe" clearance on an MS4, you should probably even flycut with stock heads.
