It's always a good idea to check your actual PTV as variances in deck height and valve height on the seat can be different. I only quoted my measurements to give you an idea of what to expect.
what about a 228/228 .588 .588 - 112 ? I know that this specific cam is probably pushing the MAX what the 5.3 is capable of with this build setup....

Is 58cc stock on the 5.3L? I had heard it was like 63/64cc. Im just trying to find the right answer cuz everybody says something different.
