Default Torquer V3 Cam

Do you have to fly cut the pistons?

I was looking at TSP's website and they offer the Stage 2.5 package with the cam and the 5.3L heads. Do these work well together?

When you say milled, do you mean like shaved head decks?

I would think that they would work accordingly.

No, my buddy has an MS4 (same intake lift, .649) with milled 243's (.005) and they don't hit, don't worry about it. You running stock rocker arm ratio?

I have ordered the same package, but I am having trouble finding a lot of people with this setup. I would like to know what type of numbers should I have. Also would like to hear some sound clips as well.
