Very very true, if you had a specific set up in mind im sure someone in here could chime in. But you have to factor in if the heads are milled or not, gasket thickness, valve size, what rockers you are using, and probably the most important one here would be the duration of the cam as well. The longer the valves are open the more prone they will be to ptv clearance issues.

Not to thread jack but I am talking about a bone stock LS1 and a stock LS6 with OEM everything. What is the largest cam you can install without fly cutting the pistons?

Duration and centerline are more important than lift for clearance as full lift occurs when the piston is already about halfway down. There are just too many variables to throw out a number.

I just had in mind using stock rockers and stock thickness gaskets with LS6 heads and a TR224 cam, which i believe is 224/224 .563/.563, but the question is not really for me its for my dad, but im not sure what cam he was planning on using.
