We can tell you what you want to hear. That is the glory of the internet. Fact of the matter is you need to measure or have whoever is installing it check PTV. I would start by asking TSP since that looks like their cam.

IIRC the stage 2 heads have over sized valves and milled .020" on top off that my Internet guess is you will need to fly-cut.

TEA drops the intake valve down to increase flow. I have a set of 5.3 1.5 TEA heads and installed a small 226/230 cam with MLS gaskets and had to flycut. So my answer is yes more than likely you will have to flycut.

Thats strange, I have a set of TEA 5.3 1.5 with a 232/234 milled .12 with no problem. How much were milled from your heads?

do some research on ptv clearance, check and double check, or have someone do it for you. it would totally blow to break stuff trying to cut corners. dont shift at 7k either, that cam will make plenty of power shifting at 6500 or less and ur shift extension should still be in the band with a descent gearing/tranny setup. u will have to worry about rodbolts and valve float at that rpm.

You will definetly have to check piston to valve clearance. I have a cam with same duration and Min chamber size I can run with the ls6 heads is a 62cc and have safe p to v clearance .

Minimum recomended is .080 on the intake and .100 on the exhaust...
