Default PTV Question

Hey guys I have a question. Couldnt find exactly what i was looking for in a search.

I have Stage II LS6 heads with 2.02"/1.57"/59cc. Heads are not milled.

I curretly have a TSP 233/239 cam and was just wondering if that is the biggest cam i can go with. My pistons are not flycut.

I am using a .040 head gasket.

What is the biggest cam i can go with without flycutting?

Thanks in advance.

Im not sure exactly what the biggest cam would be. Id pick a cam and talk to the seller to find out the exact p/v clearance.


Ive heard flycutting isnt to hard. Why not give it a try?

With that thin of a gasket, Id think youre pretty close to the limit... Measure and be sure...

Yea thats what i figured.

The reason i ask is because i bought the car with this setup.

I really want an MS4, but i know i'll have to flycut.

But i dont want to lose any compression.

i'd say chances are you're already in the danger zone
