Default Head gurus, need help

long story short I decided to go from all motor back to Procharged. I had a set of stock LS3 heads decked .035 to a roughly 64cc CC from a stock 70cc CC. My question is, how well will they seal or is there any problems im going to run in to with them being cut that much VS having a stock set on there? It will have ARP studs, ls9 head gaskets, and a F1A or C maxed out so figure 16-19# or whatever it will make.

Yeah. I was running this setup last year on 317s making 888rwhp. New setup is more cubes, bigger turbo, and LS3 heads. Like you I already had them so figured id try em. If it doesnt work out ill sell em and go back to 317s.
