I agree with the above assessment. If you want to maximize the potential with that cam, port the head for sure. Degreeing is a must and I would personally not do it without HD springs. What are you looking to accoplish with getting the cam? If it is a daily rider and you don't want to spend the time or money on springs, porting, extra displacement, I think you would be better off getting a more mild cam. Such as like .360 lift and between 270-280 degrees duration. Let us know what your goals are.
