Correct, with stock valve drop the clearance is tight. With aftermarket valves or milled heads, you need to flycut!

You don’t HAVE to do anything however I Believe you can run the ms4 with ls6 heads but the ptv clearances will be tight and it is recommended you do it anyways.

For what its worth I would fly cut and not have to worry about it.

Piece of mind and you wont get a bent valve or worse.

I know a guy who went .125 and sprayed a 150 on it no issues. This thread has some pretty good info....
