Default H/C Question?

I know you guys have seen a lot of these questions but I need some info. I am about to buy a set of AFR Mongoose 225's that have been shaved just a little bit (don't know how much) and want to know if the T-Rex cam would work well with these heads. Do the pistons need to be fly-cut or anything like that? Vengeance is most likely going to be doing the install and tune. If i need to add anymore info let me know. Thanks for all the advice in advance.

I would talk to Ron at Vengeance and get their take on it since their doing the install. If not, call Tony Mamo at AFR. Hardest part is we don't know how much they were milled.

Trex needs valve cutting with any aftermarket heads.

Those heads will fit... but there is such a thing as to much head, just go with a set of milled 205cc heads.
