The specs are 240/244 609in 596ex 112+4 or at least close to that. You could put stage 1 heads with stock valves and be ok, but stage 2 and aftermarket casting with bigger valves or milling would require you to flycutt

This is the cam I might go with in the future and I don't think there will be any problems for a daily driver. I'm sure it'll be really really loud since it's a big cam but if you don't mind then go for it.
