Default p/v clearance issues with this EPS cam/AFR heads?

I was looking at AFR 215 heads (65cc) for my current EPS blower cam. The cam specs are:

226/238 .605”/.615” 115LSA +3 advance

I have a stock bottom end LS1 and I would like to avoid flycutting. Would this be pushing my luck?

If you could give me a valve drop measurement I could let you know for sure if it would fit. More than likely it will fit, but it would be better to measure rather than guess.

The 226, .605" side will clear, it's the 238 duration w/ the .615" lift that's in question. Probably OK, but as stated above...

I am not exactly sure what a valve drop measurement means? Do you mean to check with clay? I don't even have the cam from you yet. It is a custom grind that you are still working on.



Sorry, I must have posted this in the wrong forum...
