Default PTV clearance questions

I just purcahsed windsor cnc ported heads with oversize stainless valves, 600lb springs and cnc stage 2's heart shaped combustion chambers. i think 44cc. And im trying to figure out what cams would be safe to run, so any types of cams you guys recommend?

These are the sets of cams i have been looking at.

My real big concern is that I want to be 100% no worry about the PTV clearance, just incase the springs arnt really 600 lift springs...is there any way to check if they are?

Any help is appreciated thanks

you may want to go with a custom grind cam. check out www.modularheadshop.com
there are a few of us on here running mhs cams (including myself) and we have no complaints. they have tons of cams for different applications.

$600. Which is totally worth it. The stage 2 cams don't require aftermarket valve springs. That'll save you money right there.

Well I talked to nick and he said that I could run the stage 3r cams becuase I have after market valves . But I wondering if it is really necessary to degree the cams? I don't really have the money to pay for the additional service and unfortunately I don't know how to do it myself.

you most definitely want to degree those cams. do exactly what nick tells you. the guy knows his stuff. if you can't afford to do so, then you should just wait until you have then funding for it. if you build it the right way, you only do it once.
