Default 233/239 + Milled 2.5 5.3L

I have a 02 LS1 with 233/239 .595/.603 texas speed cam and plan on installing PRC stage 2.5 5.3L heads with stock gaskets. I am debating whether to mill them to 60cc or not. I do not want to flycut but the added compression i believe would benifit me. Just wondering if anyone has this set-up and could tell me if flycutting was necessary.

I am not sure that there is enough room to do that on these heads. If you do have them milled for it already I would make sure to check clearance before you fire the motor over.

No sir. They start at 62cc. You can probably mill them .010" or so but that's going to be it with that cam.

ya you will really need to watch it, if you mill even a little bit i would make sure to check clearance.
