Question Guesstimates on how much I'm gonna have to notch my pistons?

I'm about to install my TEA Stg, 2.5 5.3's, and we've milled them .030". Obviously, I'll be installing one of the heads, using the old gaskets and old head bolts, and claying for P to V, but I was just looking for a rough estimate.

The cam specs are 232/236 .580/.580 110 LSA 108 ICL. I'm running 2.055 int. valves, and 1.600 exh. valves.

From the looks of those numbers, it's sounding like it's gonna be a ton!! lol

Guesstimates have no place in race cars. Precision calculations are required.
