Default heads and cam question

OK I bought my cam before I got my heads and my can specs are .235 .246 620/615 115+2.
The heads are Lloyd Elliot le2 241 from what I gather they are milled .020. My question is can I just fly cut or am I gonna have to buy a set of pistons? I plan on using a big nitrous kit. But I'm wanting to keep it a stock bottom end.

Fly cutting with a big shot would have me nervous.

Flycut. You will be fine.
I have flycutting tools if you need to rent them.

I've heard of people running a 150 shot cutting the pistons .100
You just got to smooth out the cuts to prevent hot spots.

We have seen people run a decent sized shot after flycutting as well, I would really stress getting a good tune so that it all stays together.

We've run 200hp on stock pistons cut .080" deep with no issues at all! There's meat there for deep cuts. Keep in mind, as always on spray, there are a LOT of other ways you're going to blow something up before the bottom-end components themselves become the weakest link. People do ridiculous things on stock engines with proper fuel supply and tune!
