If you really want the biggest baddest cam for your blower, you might as well get a new longblock. The fact is without descent heads, your wasting that cam, and I have a pretty good feeling you might run into PTV clearance issues. You also might be pushing the safety limit for your internals. As for badass blower cam, check out the CMS Stage 3's.

as you pointed out without touching the internals those cams will more than likely push him past the limits of the stock internals, not to mention will require valvesprings and possibly a port to be used to full capacity, which would put him past the limits of the internals.

honestly i'd start building a shortblock.
