milling 799's

how much can i have my 799's shaved without causing valve issues, I'm gonna be running a torquer v3 231/234 .643/.598 111 lsa, stock bottom end, i don't want to flycut the pistons, i think thats a little over my head, so how much do u think is to much?

The best way is to install heads and cam; measure ptv clearance and based on that result decide how much to mill if any.
