Default CAM.. how big can you go with milled heads?

just what it says. don't want to push it. i know i can put it in and rotate the crank to check, but would rather know before i buy.

Do you already have milled heads or plan to purchase them in the future?

I plan to run a .040 head gasket with my H/C package and then mill however much until I reach the ptv clearance that is acceptable.

they are on the car already, 6.0 heads milled .010 and stock 6.0 head gaskets, i'm not positive on the compression ratio but was told i'd be around the same as stock.

you cant just throw a quastion like that !

any how if you wanna go pro then you need to check PTV after you install your cam then go for milling ,get the cam you want then check PTV then go milling or thinner head gasket .
