Default Will this cam require flycutting?

Will a 243/247 .624/.624 110+2 LSA camshaft require me to flycut when using 65cc 317 heads .054 head gasket thickness with stock valves?

Its Ls1. What about a 236/242 .615/.624 on a 111+2? If I had the heads milled only .040" instead of .050" to make them 67cc closer to stock ls1 heads would the more extreme cam fit? Its close to a Trex but using the LSL lobes.

Its an auto transmission not a manual also. I know autos can be a little closer on PTV than manual transmissions.

the cc of the heads has nothing to do with the ptv its how much you mill them a set of 317 milled 40 will have the same ptv as a set of 243 milled the same the second cam you have listed should be fine if you dont mill the heads if you mill them i would check the ptv just to be safe

Would a set of unmilled 243 heads work for the first cam?

Just looking at the majority of fastest cam only people most have a Trex so I was trying to do something similar and try the new lsl lobes. My car is not a driver just a toy that I drive to the track. I already have a 4500 stall and 4.56 gears which match that size of a cam.
