You should look into the TR cheater cam. Its a 214/230 .601/.575 on a 117 LSA.

High lift isn't the contributing factor for PTV contact.

Not true. The CheaTR cams make good power and they are closest shelf cam to what you need. Otherwise, you need to go custom. And lift does not make P to V tight. Duration does. Too much duration (especially on the intake side) will risk piston to valve contact during the overlap cycle. The cam is at max lift when the piston is almost all the way down the cylinder so lift has very little affect on P to V.

The exhaust system will also play a lot into how much camshaft you can hide in the car. I have a 220/220 .581/.581 on a 115+4 new in the box in our camshaft blowout thread. You can get that dude for $300. I ran that camshaft in my wife's stock 35th SS & it drove perfect with a stock verter & a extra 50rpm at idle!!!
