Thanks just trying to get a game plan goin I want to make sure i wont have any ptv clearance issues hoping someone was running this set-up cause I would hate to buy the 1.7's and then not have enough clearance and be stuck with them

Total valve lift has nothing to do with the possibility of PtV problems. Use FRPP M-6513-A50 single w/damper springs + retainers and locks or TFS springs upgrade kit, buy an adjustable pushrod and check for the correct PR length that setup will require by checking the geometry.
