Default cam help

im going cam only for in ls1 gto. i have a xer273hr. specs are 224/230 .571/.588 114. I dont want to swap out heads as of now. I was wondering how far i can mill the 241's safely. Trying to increase quench and will be using .040 cometics. Trying to get a dcr of 8.4-8.6 and 11.2-11.5 scr. The slugs stick out of the hole .004. To acheive close to these numbers i need to take about 5cc's out of the heads. Which is .020 off the heads. Still safe on pvc? How strong are these castings? Any help would be apprecaited.

heads are strong enough to mill that far. ptv should be okay with .020 mill, but ptv will be closer than antcipated i expect. verify PTV for what you have now, and make a determination from there or try a search. good luck man.
