I know the MS3 and TSP 5.3 combo is very popular, but I think they are all running stock thickness head gaskets and I have a .04 gasket. IIRC the stock gasket is .053.

Depends what you mean by "clear". My advice is call both sponsors, ask for the exact margins on both intake and exhaust.
Pick the ones you feel comfortable with.

If neither will fit with out PTV problems how much of a difference would it be from an X3 to an X2? I know the specs on both, Im just talking about overall performnce. IIRC the X3 is a 234/242 and X2 is 232/240.

I just ordered the LG G5X3 114 LSA camshaft. I have LPE ported LS6 heads milled to 61cc with .052 MLS gaskets. The valves are 2.02/1.55. I measured the valve drop at TDC, and there is .180 on the intake & .205 on the exhaust. There will be ~.057 PTV on the intake, and more than enough PTV on the exhaust because the cam is advanced ~4*.

.057 at TDC can be less 10* before that, be very careful and measure correctly with a dial and wheel.

We are talking actual measurements using a degree wheel and dial
