Sam,
I bought my Stage 1 ported big valve R/T heads from Hughes at the same
time as I bought the HER2228AL cam. Your cam has a bit more lift on
the intake than mine, but it's the same on the exhaust. Since Hughes
milled my heads for compression, and everything still cleared fine,
there's plenty of clearance with the R/T heads. In fact, I'm
surprised Hughes told you that, unless you bought your cam before I
bought mine.
