Default LQ9 piston to valve clearance

Currently building LQ9 have a set of 243 heads was thinking about running Comp 45-469-11 cam
intake duration 281
exhaust duration 247
LSA 113
int. Lift .624
exh. Lift.617
with factory rockers.
I was wondering if I will have issues with piston to valve clearance ?

Are you sure about those duration numbers?? You have WAY more intake duration than exhaust, and that shouldn't be.
Edit- the cam is 54-469-11, and the duration is 281/297, lift is .617/624.
You might edit your post to reflect the correct specs

I can't find #45-469-11 any where.

Could it be 54-469-11 that Richard Holdener runs in practically everything? 231/247 @ .050

What type of piston? Does it have valve reliefs?

This may have some helpful information.

Advertised duration is 281/297
duration @ .050 is 231/247
You will want to check ptv on this setup.
