Heads and cam question

Okay, I've got to ask because I have a friend who said I'd need to change my stock LS1 heads for the cam I have sitting in my closet, I need to know if I have to swap heads or get mine ported.

The cam is a 236/242 .580/.590 on a 112LSA, he said I'd need to get a different set of heads or get mine ported, he said I need to get them to prevent the valve hitting the piston...

Any ideas?

Those specs are almost the same as the MS3, which clears stock heads

that has alot of duration, but not that much lift. you'll be perfectly fine with the stock heads.

you'll make more power with new heads, or ported....but you don't "need" them.
