You shouldn't with that lift. It seems awfully low.

You could always clay the cylinders

If they are LS1 heads milled for 11.5:1 then you might have a problem. You need to clay to be sure. What type of spring are on the heads? What is the valve size? Are you running 1.8 rockers?

They are '02 LS1 heads. I'm not sure about the valves. I believe they are stock. I would be running LS6 springs (been running with that cam for over a year) and 1.7 rockers. If I'm not mistaken, the only thing done to the heads was the milling to get the compression up. I'm trying to avoid taking my engine apart to clay it. My combo now works GREAT. So I hate to take it apart just to find out the new set up won't work.
