Default Will Torquer 2 fit w/ heads milled .015?

I just bolted my heads on and am about to buy a new cam (again). I want to keep the duration in the low 230s and the lift around .600 due to using 918s. The Torquer 2 seems like a good choice but my heads are milled .015 so I know it will be tight. I was thinking a 112 LSA and 110 ICL would suit me best. I don't want to retard it anymore or go higher on the LSA. So since I'm not going to notch the pistons, will the T2 work?

How much did you mill or how much smaller was your gasket?

It also depends on what size valves you have and the LSA/ICL of the cam
I had a 113+0 on 2.04/1.575 milled .010 with stock gasket.
Talk to TSP they will tell you for sure.

I talked to Zack at TSP today. He wasn't sure but said it would be very close as suspected. The LSA would be 112 and ICL would be 110. The valves are stock and so is the GM MLS gasket. I might just opt for an XER 230/232 since I know that will fit. Honestly, 230/234 would be ideal but I'm pretty sure it's the exhaust valve that gets close on the Torquer, not the intake.

I have my 233/239 v1 on stock 98 heads milled .010 with stock sized valves. I have no issues and had plenty of clearance with the checker spring.
