when is flycutting necessary?
all things being stock, if you swapped a '97 ls1 cam for TSP231 Cam 231.231 .598 .598 112, would anything need to be altered to make it work?

if you have stock heads there will be no need to flycut the pistons. And even if you had decked heads, that cam may not even require flycutting the pistons! .581 lift is close though! Go bigger!

Glad it all worked out with the N20. I dont know Larry, but Mike is pretty cool! You're going to need to tune this right away after the install. Do they have LS1-edit? Let me know.

The only TRUE way is to CLAY the heads........80 and 100 are very close, you don't have any room for valve train deflection.....should run a jomar, valve train brace on rockers.......worth the money........just my 2 cents....
