Its not the lift that is the issue. When a cam is at max lift the piston is nearing the bottom of the cylinder or at least on its way down. it is duration that you have to worry about for you piston to valve clearence.

I was speaking from the position that more lift can be done without more duration, but it places more demand on a good valvetrain. With that in mind, most aftermarket cams combine the two. My Crane 2031 is a high lift/low duration cam, but I still had to clearance the pistons with 1.90s.
