Can this cam work with these pistons?

I am going to measure with clay asap,
but I plan on using a set of Edelbrock performer heads with the 2.02 valves, and a POWERMAX 2030 270-444221 CompuCam ; Adv. Dur. 270 Int./278 Exh.; Valve Lift .533 Int./.544 Exh.; Lobe Angle 112 deg.;

My pistons do have reliefs for the valves, but it seems they are only cut for the smaller valves. (1.90?) Is there anyway this could work? The only way I see it working is if my combo would work with stock, non relieved pistons.

I called crane and they said this cam should not have any problems, but I am going to measure any ways.. He did tell me to make sure the springs can accommodate the lift of .544

I think the 2.02" valve is going to be main concern...

The cam may clear, but the radial of the 2.02" valve may not clear and my run over the valve reliefs...

I'm assuming stock pistons?

Let us know what type of clearances you get, I'm curious...
