Default Patriot ST3 Clearance

I have a G5X3 cam (with the package). Those new low prices have just about sold me on some PP stage 3 ls6 heads. Would clearance be ok without milling? I would like to have a simple install without any clearance issues.

Stage 3 head from one company will flow more than stage 2 head from the same company.

It also depends on what size valves you got (2.05 or 2.08) and if the LSA on your cam is 112 or 114. The 2.05/114 combo will clear, but the clearences are below the suggested clearence. Anything other than that and I wouldn't try it.
