I thought my cam was big, but a lot of people have told me that it's average for my size engine.

If I told you "sure go ahead" would you expect me to fix it for you if you ruined the heads?
My point is you better mock it up and measure given all the variables.

It will help get more accurate replies if we know what bottom end you have as well.

You should call a shop who sells these heads. Like SDPC/\/\/\ or Livernouis >>>.

There is really quite a bit of room under the heads as the chambers are ~70 you will no doubt want to mill heads to gain compression, chose a cam then check clearance.
