Depends on the springs you run and if you go with longer length valves. Stock valves and drop in springs, probably .660"ish. Go with longer valves and a 1.55"+ spring and the sky's the limit.

Want to do a cam swap in an 06 Z06 using the stock valves and not having to fly cut the pistons. If a spring change is necessary we can do that too.
Do you know what lift the factory springs are capable of?

Lift will not determine whether you will have PTV issues
