Default 5.3 cam question

I have an aluminum 5.3(not an L33) with ls1 heads and I have a concern with ptv clearance with my camshaft, I already had the heads on the engine when I came across a good deal on a big cam, I know to be sure I would need to clay it. Any information would be appreciated

Here is my cam card.

That cam will be very close if not banging on the pistons . I would clay it with the right type of clay and do it again once or twice to be sure and/or on a cpl. different cylinders.
