Comp XER 228/230 .588/.592 112+2 will it fit? I've got AS Stage 2 5.3L 11/1 CR 2.04" intake valve heads, will this Comp cam fit with plenty of room? Valve drop is .177", valve lift at TDC 110 ICL is .105", so that leaves me with .072 clearance. I also will have .047" to coil bind, but Terry at Racetech has fabbed me some custom +.025" titanium retainers, so I should actually have .072 to coil bind.

I've got 978 springs that I will probably upgrade to Terry at Racetech PRC duals when these wear out. My concern is how close I am to P/V contact, is it real close or do I have a comfortable margin? Is valve float or a over rev gonna kill it?

I plan on claying and degreeing, but I'm just worried about P/V. I thought about sinking the intakes by .010-.015 but Terry at Racetach thought that would compromise the flow too much. I'm waiting for someone to post that all is well and the cam will,fit with plenty of room,with no issues.
