Default Piston to Valve Clearance on a 370ci

I am going to put some patriot stage 3 heads with 2.08/1.60 valves on top of my LQ4 iron 370. My cam is .598/.601, I am running .05 MLS 6.0L gaskets, and i have the Weisco flat top pistons with -2cc valve pockets. My question is will I have any trouble running these heads if I milled them .025 to 60cc chambers instead of 64cc? TIA.

I doubt it man. Your aftermarket pistons should have atleast a .100+ deep valve pocket and you cam being a wide LDA, you should be good. I would verify PTV, so that you can sleep comfortably, if you know what I mean.
