    [L77] VCM5SC Cam with Milled heads?

    I'm looking at putting a VCM5SC cam in my VE SS with the L77. Has anyone used this cam (or similar, specs are 224/236, .58/.59, 114.5 LSA) with milled heads? I was thinking about taking .02-.025 off if the price is reasonable. Also, thoughts on this cam in a manual weekender? Thanks.
