Default What should my PTV clearance be

I'm getting ready to put heads on my car and need to know what kind of PTV clearance I need for my set up. My Setup is a Tourqer 2 with a set of LS6 heads decked .030, and I'm running factory head gaskets. Also is the 7.4 push rods I have going to work also?

Generally accepted rule of thumb:
At least
0.080" intake side
0.100" exhaust side

More info on heads needed. .030= 5cc, then better check you PTV
Also what is the LSA and advance (ICL) in this TV2?

The heads are set of Livernois Stage one LS6 heads. The LSA is 112, and Im not totally sure on what ICL is, but I do know that the cam was installed straight up dot to dot no advance.

It "should" fit with stock gasket. But better measure.
