Default Bumping compression on ls2, TSP V2 cam?

So after several months of contemplating and reading various forums and debates, I've decided to swap the cam and hand port my factory 243's on my 2006 LS2 C6. My question is pretty straight forward; Can I mill my 243's say like .010 to bup the compression slightly, and still use the TSP V2 without fly cutting?

Side note: I'll end up checking it for myself later before I put everything together, but was hoping someone would know off the top of their head if I'd have a PTV clearance issue with this set up.

you might check on what you can get your 243's cnc'd for before you hit them with a grinder.

I'm debating on that. I've got the time and resources to do it, and there's a ton of info about DIY porting on here and other LS sites.

Piston to valve clearance after removing only .010 while using the Torquer 2 shouldn't cause any issues at all.

With stock valves or even 2.02 valves you should be fine at .010 milling with the Torquer V2.
