FWIW, I would still check valve drop before taking my word for it, because it is close and every setup is different. I'm just speaking from my experience, I did not flycut.
pray you don't float a valve

Can't quite remember off the top of my head what the valve drop was, but I do have it written down somewhere, and I'll see if I can find it. Lou walked me through it on the phone and I was within tolerance. I'll see if I can find my old figures.
