You are gonna need to verify how much piston-to-valve clearance you have first, then decide if you can afford to mill the heads. TREX is a big cam, that although is designed to work with stock heads, its design is max effort and does not leave much room to work with in there. Measure to be sure, then decide if its gonna be safe.

I would spend the money on a fast intake and not touch the heads. That is what the trex likes.

T rex builds cyl psi with out needing a lot of compression.
