Default flycutting on g5x3 112lsa

I'm hoping someone will chime in here who has first hand experience. I emailed LGMotorsports and was told that i did not need to flycut my pistons on my stock/unmilled heads. However, after doing searches I've read that you do have to fly cut the pistons?

Any help is appreciated. I obviously dont want to break anything.

G5X3 112lsa?

if you do the 114 lsa you don't have to flycut.
if you do the 112.. you can fit it w/ out flycutting but its really close. safer to flycut.

hmm....well i just emailed LGM again to reassure what i was told by one of their representatives. I'm on a tight budget so i've got to find out how much it would cost to flycut my pistons if need be.

Here is a link to help you out. I will be doing this in a few weeks and will have to find a supplier for the cutting tool. It looks fairly simple and hope the $$$ is not to much.
