More details, the cam is on a 112 LSA with no ground in advance or retard (AFIK).

I asked the same question awhile back. Ive got stock LS6 heads ive had milled .015 to put on my car w/ GM head gaskets. Ive been looking at the Torquer 2 or Patriot 226 as well. Alot of people responded that 7.4 PRs are just fine.

I haven't done this personally....I had 5.3L heads with my Torquer 2, but I've seen it done with Stock LS6 heads and 7.400 Pushrods on an LS2
Also,
I just spoke to Jon @ Texas-Speed yesterday about using .040 Cometic Head Gaskets on my 04 GTO (an LS1, but it uses the newer LS6 block) with the T2 and my 5.3L's (Which have less clearence than the 243 LS6 Heads) and he told me I shouldn't have any issue with PTV, so I'm sure you'll be fine.

Hope your right, I really don't feel like flycutting the pistons!
If she spins over freely after assembly, ill consider it cool.

Untouched 243 casting heads with stock valves, stock gaskets and the Torquer 2 should not have any clearance problems. It's always fun to check PTVC though

i have an ms4 under stock ls6 heads and stock gm gaskets, its a little tighter than recommened but its fine, you should have no problem with the torquer v.2.
