Default fly cutter needed

any body have a fly cutter set up that I can rent or borrow Im in lancaster Pa.. i am about to start a buil here with a T Rex cam in a 6spd and I think it would be smart to fly cut the pistons the engine is torn down right now it would be easy to do with it sitting on the stand

no your right with stock heads its ok right up to the point where you miss a gear and it over revs then its all over bent push rods or bent valves it makes alot more sense to fly cut the pistons now while the engine is on a stand and be done with it "lets just call it insurance" then if it over revs it will float the valves and be ok hopefully
