You can always mill the heads later once you've measured your P-V clearance but I'd measure it now so you know how much you can get away with. I'd want to determine this myself rather than take one's word because there's different combinations of parts that could affect the P-V from one engine to another.

I just had mine milled around 22 thousandths off and I have P to V clearance for days with a BTR stage 4. I do have 4cc valve reliefs though. I would check regardless but especially if you have stock flat tops.
