To get a good answer on how much you need to mill and valve relief you would need to take it to a shop and have them perform measurments on it. Its almost impossible to give you a number.

With that cam it could be possible. With that setup(assuming you have 2cc of relief in the piston) it will take almost 7 cc of head milling to get to the 8.3 DCR area, which is approx .042 of deck off the head. With that much deck gone you now may hit the pistons still. This is calculated with a 111 LSA with a 110 ICL. the calculations may be off some but should be ballpark.
