After all the mods you will be looking at a little over 300RWHP. Why such big heads? Boost or spray in the future?

the heads are fine i'm n/a with those heads

if you are not sure of cam assume it's stock unless the previous owner can produce a cam card.

also you'll be surprised that your current headers are smaller than the 185's ex ports....trust me my mac l/t's were
