Default TSP 233/239 question

I'm interested in the TSP 233/239 cam, but I'm just wondering about PTV clearance with stock heads. I did a quick search, and it looks like it'll work, but I just want some confirmation. I've already got springs, retainers, ls2 timing chain, and ls6 oil pump.

EDIT---------

Oh, and if there's any 233/239 cam only people reading this, how happy are you with it?

There should be no problems with piston to valve clearance with this camshaft on stock cylinder heads!

I have this cam in my car. Pulls good to 6800 hoping that the victor JR intake and elbow give it a few hundred more rpm of power up top. I love rpm!

I have this cam. It pulls hard. But you better have some tall gears because it likes rpms.

NO it won't hurt at all. Just makes it easier to get to the powerband. We dont' make 400hp until 6 grand.

probably around 425-440. If it's shaved you can move the powerband lower into the rpms.

By shaved you mean milled heads right? I forgot to mention the chambers will be a 62cc.

I am looking into the revised LS6 stg 1.0 heads now, there a 225cc runner, I think I would make a few more ponies up top, those would also be a 62cc.................

Those heads you mentioned are all great. I have LS6s on mine. If I had to do it again, I would've have them milled though to get around 62cc or lower.

I have the 233/239 with the stage 2.5 5.3l heads with 59cc chambers. No numbers yet, but it feels strong. Cam only through an unlocked 3500 stall it put 390rwhp 375rwtq though.

I have the same cam on a 113 LSA and those heads. I wish I had had them milled also.

I make good power I think with my setup. 430/393, I'am an M6. My car has always produced slightly lower numbers on average compared to cars with similar specs.

I recommend TSP after my experience with them.

You have a 233/239 cam? Can we get away with 62cc chambers and no flycutting?

You have the LS6 stg 1 heads? Stock CC and do you guys have the older 230cc runner design? Do you have a dyno graph?

The 233/239 camshaft seems to work really well. It's not crazy crazy large & has good street manors with a little bit of tuning I've seen them make as much as 475rwhp with stage 1 ls6 heads & milling!!
