Whats the rest of your setup?
Whats the rest of your setup?
It is all stock internals now. I am thinking about going with the torquer 3 and a set of ported LS6's with maybe a small mill (.015?), I would like to put a .040 or .045 gasket on it, but I wanted get an idea of the PTV clearance first. I only have a very short time window to complete the project so I don't want to flycut.

From what I have been told and have read about, you will be fine with the stock size valves in a stage 1 type LS6 head with the .040 gaskets. You may want to reconsider the milling however. Have you figured your DCR to see if you would even want to mill? I can say that I was told the V3 would clear with the stage 2.5 5.3's which have the 2.02 valve with the .040 gasket with no mill, so the stage 1 LS6's may even clear with the mill with the smaller valve.

Yeah I figure that any head with stock sized valves will fit with a 0.040 gasket, but I don't want to assume. Yeah with no mill, and 0.040", I am at about 8.48:1 DCR, on a 111+2, so I wouldn't mind milling a little, if it'll clear.
