The only real way to know is to measure... but I think PTV be fine with the stock cam. There are some spreadsheet calculators out there that can give a decent estimate of what milling 0.030" will do to PTV and combustion chamber size.

The stock combustion chamber is 65cc, and milling to get a 58cc chamber puts you just under 11:1 with stock GM head gaskets. I don't know how much milling is required to hit that volume, but I wouldn't go any smaller than a 57cc chamber without a plan for more cam.
