Default MS4 and 59cc patriot heads

Have any of you ran a magic stick 4 cam with 59cc patriot heads? Is there issues with PTV clearance?

That would not fit, the MS4 needs to be run with stock deck height and stock valves in order to have ample clearance.

an .085" - .095" cut would be enough for that setup.

When valve reliefs are cut into the pistons then it takes down the compression right? .095 is equal to how many cc's? would it be worth the the gain in power?

Thats right at a full cc. I ran a compression calculator on it and came up with 11.0:1 compression with a stock MLS gasket. With that kind of relief you would also have the option of going with a thinner gasket which would also bump your compression.

You are making some killer power with the cam you have now, I would expect you to pick up somewhere around 10-15 rwhp so I am not sure if it would be worth it. That one is kind of up to you.
