Trick Flow Head & Cam questions

I have a 2001 vert; MN6 and I am considering a set of Trick Flow heads and a Trick Flow cam. The cam is 228 - 230 @ 050 585 - 585 with 112 degree lobe seperation. The heads come with 64cc combustion chambers. According to Trick Flow in need to mill 0.008" per cc of combustion chamber volume.

Will I have enogh piston to valve clearance if I mill the heads to 60cc?

Anyone have any experience with these heads and or this cam?

Thanks

I would contact Brian Tooley at TEA and ask him, he does the CNC work on the heads and also did a lot of the cam testing that TFS is marketing. Since he did back to back dyno's with the various TFS cams, he may have an idea what you will need to do.

I have the exact set up your looking at except I had my heads milled down to 61cc's. To see my numbers see my signature. Brian is the man to talk to though. I contacted him on LS1tech.com.
