Default Comp Cam 224 XE-R

I would appreciate it if anyone out there has this cam and can give me some piston to valve clearance measurements or can you tell me if and how much your head's are cut. (5.7 head) Bottom line I want to know how agressive I can go with milling the head with out running into clearance issues. Thanks guy's

I have the 224/224 XE-R 114 LSA on a .581. My intake valve is 2.08 and it didn't even dent the clay when I tested out the clearance. The clay was about .08" thick. I rev to 6500 at the track and nothing has floated yet. It's a good cam, I'm just shopping around for something bigger at the moment. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

derty,
Let me know if you find a blower cam a bit bigger than the XE-R. I looking more in the 230/240, 580/590 range. Thanks.
