Default Flat Top Pistons PTV????
I have a 302 with flat top pistons, compression at 9.2 compression. I also have some GT-40P heads and a Crower 15512 cam with 496 lift on intake side and 512 on the exhaust side, duration is 282/286.

My question is, will i have issues with Piston to Valve Clerance with my set up?

I've run an f-cam with no issues but you really can't compare such, you need to clay the pistons and use to converted lifters and check for ptv
