Default Anyone running 5.3 heads with a Torquer 2?

I want to run some milled 5.3 heads with my Torquer 2 and am wondering if I'll run into Piston valve clearance issues if I mill them down to 59cc.

Is it a stock 5.3L head and just being milled? Or do they have larger valves or anything else done to them?

P&P TEA's Stage II heads with larger valves... not sure on the specifics. I think they flow ~310 at .600 lift.

You have yours in your signature...I was asking the OP so we could give him more educated advise and not have to guess at those variables

They will most likely have the same size valves that come stock in 241 heads.
