Default TSP 231/237 with milled heads?

I'm trying to stay away from flycutting pistons. For those who don't know I have a stock shortblock with TEA stage two 5.3l liter heads. They are milled .010. Has anyone tried this cam with milled heads??

I called TSP. They were not sure if it would work. They said it would be close. I thought it work. They told me to measure the valve drop.

We have installed the cam on a ls6 style patriot head cut 10 & it cleared, but when your running these larger cams its always best to double check p/v while your there

Ok, I've seen two people who have done it. That makes me feel better. The reason why I ask is becuase if I have to fly cut the pistons. I would rather go with the G5X-2 or X3. I don't want to pull my heads off the car if I don't have to.
