Question LSx PTV without flycutting questions for cam and head gurus

I've read through the stickys and did a search on google. I couldn't find anything regarding minimum CC/milling without flycutting.

The 2 heads I'm looking into are the AFR 205s and ETP 215s.

These heads would go with a stock bottom end / rotating assembly LS1 with a 231/237 .589/.595 112 + 4 cam and .040 head gaskets.

1) What is the accepted minimum clearance for PTV? I've read .080 on intake and .100 on exhaust.

2) What is the minimum CC / Mill amount I can take off of the AFR 205 66cc heads while still maintaining the accepted minimum clearance without flycutting?

3) What is the minimum CC / Mill amount I can take off of the ETP 215 heads while still maintaining the accepted minimum clearance without flycutting? I think the ETP heads are on a 11 or 11.5 degree valve angle which woulds allow a smaller CC without issues.

Those are the BARE MINIMUM clearances. Shoot for more if you can.

There are no calculations available to predict P to V clearance. You have to measure yourself. Or go by someone who has done the same or similar setup in the past.

Any one else? I'm sure some people have experience with this.
