Got my TEA heads

I just got my TEA stage 2.5 5.3 heads with a 2.055 intake milled about .010 for a 11.1:1 cc and I was looking to run a FMS F11 cam 228/230 .576 .595. Does anyone know if I will have any piston to valve clearance problems? I will be running stock pistons.

Should be a sweet setup RedDragon. What kind of springs did you get?

Everyone will tell you you should check. I would image thats on the hairy edge and you might be nervous to flub a shift and float a valve.....but that is one awesome street/strip set-up.
I pulled my stock heads to find I had just *kissed* two pistons w/ a 222 and manley singles (WTF ?!) at some point.
