cam question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I am finally gonna have some time to work on my junk and put it back together!

I'm putting a roller cam in because I trashed my flat tappet, so far i've come up with the CS XR274 R-10. I'm not really looking for cam suggestions, but more of wondering how much lift is safe/reliable for a truck that gets driven a good bit. It's a solid roller cam and has .602 / .608 lift after my 1.6 rockers. Am I going to create problems with this much lift? I'll obviously check piston/valve clearance, I'm buying the matching springs and will get a stud girdle and anything else you guys suggest

Thanks in advance
