Default PTV clearance on stage 2.5 PRC 5.3L heads

I was wondering who had H/C setups with the PRC 2.5 5.3L heads from TSP...can you run the Cometic .040 gaskets with them on a mid-size cam like the Torquer v.2? Has anyone done this or had the heads milled down without any PTV issues?

Yup, I have that setup with an MS3 cam. No fly cutting needed

you can do one or the other but not both without flycutting
