Default Flycutting necessary??

I bought stock LS6 heads, and a TSP Torquer V.2(232/234 .595 .598 on a 112) I called back and said I wanted a +2 advancement on the LSA. Am I gonna have to flycut my pistons?

Pretty sure you should have enough clearance. But checking wouldn't hurt either.

Shouldnt have to. Less advance actually improves piston to valve clearance.

The Trex (242/248 .608/.612 110 lsa) doesn't require flycutting on stock valved unmilled LS6 heads, so I think you'll be fine.
