Default How much lift, stock heads?

I bought a cam, maybe prematurely. Here's the specs, just wanted to know if this is alright for stock heads, (ported 853's actually).

224/224 .601 117 @ 50

If it's not gonna work, I don't want to risk anything. Any suggestions for a good cam that will be alright with stock heads? I have Patriot Dual springs, titanium retainers already and comp cams 7.350 pushrods.

Awesome, thanks for the help guys. I am somewhat new to LSx motors. I am swapping it into my 1991 Trans Am GTA so this is a learning process

Any threads on how to double check pushrod length? The guy I bought the motor from used Comp Cams 7.350" pushrods but he was running a stock LS1 cam.

I don't have one yet, and I am somewhat halfway through it already so not sure if I will make one lol. But check out Thirdgen.org plenty of awesome build threads on there from BlueZee28, Ghettocruiser, - cam etc etc... Search for their threads.
