You will need to check PVC no matter what cam you select..heads will not be an issue. What will be an issue is if you pick a cam that the speed density set up on your car does not like...you will have to consider that as well as looking at PVC.

It wouldn't be the pistons that'll be killed, it'll be the valves in the heads.
