I must say, that is much bigger than I thought they would suggest. This seems like it will be a pretty nasty cam. The thing I worry about is piston to valve clearance with this big of a cam. This will also increase the budget due to having to get dual springs or high dollar beehives. What are some solutions if there is piston to valve issues? I may have to keep looking if this cam makes me have to do a bunch of other stuff to make it work. Anyone have any thoughts?

That's not a very big cam AT ALL, actually just about the same specs @ .050" as GM's hotcam. You won't be anywhere near P/V clearance issues, and it'll have a mild chop at idle with great torque production.
