MS3 is a big cam and is already pretty tight piston to valve. I dont think youll be able to mill at all without flycutting. I highly suggest notching the pistons. Youll gain a bit of power, but more importantly, youll gain a lot more low end torque and drivability with the higher compression.

how can a 5.3 head be about at the max with stock gasket for piston to valve clearance and a stock head be the same...i guess how much of a difference are we talking between stock heads 241's and 5.3 heads...because i know for a fact that 5.3 with a stock gasket is about the closest you wanna go...
