I had a ton of room on both intake an exhaust, but usually the intake side is the tightest, and I'm only a 226 duration there. I'm also a 113 lobe separation which helps. From what I understand, however, these have a good bit more clearance than the factory castings. They start life as 64cc heads, and somewhere between .015 and .018 is removed to achieve the 61cc. There are plenty of people running cams your size with that much mill on factory castings, so I'm sure you'll be fine, especially on a 114. Definitely double check though.

Awesome. Considering we have the exact same heads, even down to how they're assembled and milled, I'm not surprised you came up with 7.4. I'm using stock rockers as well. Chances are most of them will be a tad longer when they arrive (ex. 7.410), so I'll bet you end up getting close to .040-.045 lifter preload, which should be perfect for those 2110's.

Motor is back in the car, my speed engineering true duals does not fit my texas speed headers that well... push rods ordered should drop em in and fire it up on Wednesday, then drive to exhaust shop to tweak my pipes. Dyno numbers in the coming weeks, 19th of april to be exact.

Valve train is very quiet at idle, I do have sewing machine under load, not super loud but detectable. I'll change the oil this week put in some Royal purple HPS see how she does. Tune and Dyno on the 19th any dyno predictions???

Alright no dyno guesses!! I'll be taking her in tomorrow night for dyno tune session, will post results shortly thereafter. I'm going to guess 460hp 425Tq. See what this LS6 intake can do!!
Nice build 
Polished and gazed into my DynoJet crystal ball, threw the dried chicken bones down the hall and read the Lipton tea leaves under the stars - predictions:
475 whp with a ported aftermarket Intake manifold
462 whp with a 92mm TB + 90/92mm snout intake manifold
443 whp with the stock TB and stock snout LS6 manifold
