Default Terminator piston to wall clearance

I have read that 03-04 Cobras run real tight ptw clearance that limits our motors from running wot for long periods because the pistons swell too much. I am thinking about "refreshing" my 75k motor with just a ring and bearing replacement and coating the domes and skirts. What would be a better ptw for my stockers if they are still in tolerance?
