Default Shaving k20a3 head

I've searched and searched, I have a k20a3 in my rsx, I've sourced a type s tb, cams, and intake. I know I need kpro but I have two questions,

Cams- is there any way to run the type s cams in my head and maintain vtec,I know I don't have lma's but can you switch pins/rockers and allow it to utilize all three lobes?

Head- how much material would need to be shaved from my head to raise the compression up to type s territory? Or is there a head gasket made that does this?

Thanks in advance

K20a2 cam/rocker assembly in K20a3 - Club RSX Message Board

Go there.

Honestly I would just go the K20A2 head route.
