Default Cam To Big????

Im am working on building a iron block 370ci and i am trying to decide on a cam. When the new motor goes togeather it will have stage II heads w/ 2.055 and 1.60 valves. It will be Lunati Pro billit rods and forged 4.030 pistons, and a stock crank good for runiing 15 lbs of boost.
The cam im looking at is a 232/238 .585/.585 114+3 LSA. Would that be to big for the 370? How about stock heads w/ comp 918's ?? Will i have a problem with piston to valve clearance?? Spinning to 6500.
Thanks

As long as your shortblock has flycut pistons you should be fine with piston to valve clearance.

So one of you says yes and the other says no. I dont have fly cut pistons on my 346, but on my 370 i will. So should i wait and just install it on the 370?? That cam should work well with FI right??
Thanks
