Default Something I should've thought of before hand but...

Does anybody forsee any PtV issues for me running a stock '02 LS1 bottom end with a TSP LS6 CnC'd head and an FMS13 stick? As far as I know, TSP doesn't say anything about milling these heads, but I just thought I'd ask incase anybody might know for sure.

I'm pretty sure they will clear. Lets us know what kind of numbers your car puts down. I'm looking at buying the same heads and I already have a F13 cam.

If you get bigger valves put in, there is a possiblity of having problems. Stockers won't be an issue though. Check out the difference between my Ferrea valves and stock:



These valves will decrease PTV clearance .040 more than stock with no thought given to the valve job. The valve job could be around .010 and .020 (depending on the valve job) and that will bring your overall amount closer to stock. But it won't make up the difference.

Well thankfully I went with stock valves in my application, so I'm hoping that won't be an issue spinning to 6400rpm..

Should be 100% fine Dave.
I have seen this combo clear before.
