Default H/C fly cutting question

Alright here is the deal I want to take .030 off the stock 241 heads. They will also be ported. I want to go with the TR224 cam and wanted to see if anyone has done something similar and if you think this would need fly cutting. Also with that much taken off the heads how big of a difference do you think it will make on the int. manifold? Any major modifications needed? All opinions and comments appreciated.

.030? Do they make them that size without special order?

you should be able to get very close to the right length you may need, with all the options and sizes out there now. you will have to measure first, before ordering.

Know a place to get one cheap? And after the measurement I would want to get as close as I can, but under if I can't get it on the dot?
