depends what pistons your using as valve-piston contact is very easy as theres no much room to begin with, best thing to do is get aftermarket pistons or get your standard ones machined which is what im gonna do on myh build

So you want cams for your standard engine.... What Swedge said, but then also consider some actual engine mods.

And you'll need a pair of verniers to get them set up proper

And some sort of replacement fuelling system (carbs or mappable management) to put cams that make a real difference in , even with pocketed pistons.

Yeah as Stuart says if you want any cams worthwhile you'll need a mappable ecu or swap over to carbs as the standard ecu dosnt work will with decent cams
