My heads have been milled significantly more than .30 thous. I have had no P/V problems with my C2 cam/milled heads valves touching the pistons.s. Not even when spinning it close to 7000 RPM's.

You should be fine.

Also going to depend on what springs your running. Valve float can get you if your springs are weak.
