Default L92 btr red hot head milling

I have a l92 I'm freshing up for a swap project.
stock pistons
823 heads
Btr red hot cam 221/24X, .619/.617, 113 LSA

INTAKE LOBE LIFT @ TDC: 0.04730


Thinking about bumping compression with having heads cut

Does anyone anyone an estimated safe range i can cut with out having to modify pistons?

You are going to have to put it together and check ptv (at TDC and about 5-10 degrees ATDC) to see what you can get away with. Normally, LS3 heads don't have much breathing room. You may get away with just using a thinner gasket.

Too many variables for someone to be able to definitively say if it will clear or not, measure the clearance you have now and go from there
