Good advice, will definitely seek their feedback. I'm going to measure PTV prior to having the heads milled, and flycut if necessary. I believe it was you (or maybe Spin) that mentioned in another thread that TSP, who will be doing my head work, sinks the valves 0.010 if I remember correctly.
I'll measure PTV, and then do the math on how much that clearance would decrease with milling/thinner gasket without sinking the valves. That way, if they are sunk a little, I'll have that much extra room.

And be sure and keep that thinner head gasket in the mix. It does more than just increase the static CR. Here's an interesting article for those not convinced of the thinner head gasket's valvue in an LS3.

If you are using stock heads that are not ported, with thinner gaskets, use a dremel to knock down any sharp edges such as the metal surrounding the combustion chamber.
