you probably will have some piston to deck height issues. especially with aftermarket cams, and valvetrain.
only thing i can tell you with the information given, is clay the motor. and run a thicker HG.
goodluck

really with pro 2 cams skunk2 reccomends you run a custom piston with large valve reliefs.... thats what they told me the times if talked to them....

Yeah and I was told when ordering my cams that you need quite a bit of compression to draw max power out of them. More than the 12.5:1 I'm running
