Do I need to flycut my pistons

lift .617/.624
113 lobe sep

has anyone run this camshaft before, or does anyone know if the pistons need to be flycut?

If the shortblock is together then just check it yourself to be sure.
If it's apart then just have the flycutting done for safety's sake.

Probably so.

It'll be really close.
