Default does any one know for sure....

i have been trying to find out if a x303 cam will work with stock pistons in a 89 motor...i have heard that they need to be notched but i want to know for sure if the cam will work with out the pistons having to be notched.. the heads that will be used will probably be gt40x heads or a little better head....i know check the clearence, but if you guys have tried it and know for sure if it will work or not....the advice would be greatly appreciated...thanks
