Cool Yes, i searched!

I searched all over this forum to see if anyone had my combo, but i didnt find a match So i had to make a post..

Here it is:

I have LS6 style stage II heads with 2.02"/1.57"/64cc

Tommorow i want to order the G5X2 232/240 .595 .608 LSA 114

Now what im afraid of is, my valves NOT clearing...would i have to do any shimming or fly cutting...? Does anybody have any experience with this combo?

Let me know, thanks guys.

I have that setup!

Just kidding....

Anyway. What you should do is check for yourself. People are not going to be able to tell you if it is going to clear as far as PTV goes. No one on the phone or internet can answer a measurement on a setup that is not directly in front of them being properly checked. You are going to have to install the cam and use the clay method when you pull the heads to see if it is actually going to work.

No, you need natural organic clay. Playdough is elastic and will screw the reading up.

On the street .080 int and .100 exhaust is fairly safe
some people run tighter though, but I never ed my pistons
