No you cant. Pro 2's will overly compress your stock valve springs and crush your seals/guides. You need heavy duty valve springs and retainers to run those cams. Type R valve springs wont work either. Must be aftermarket.

Considering your making that much power boosted, i would assume your somewhat built with low compression pistons?? If thats the case, i wouldnt worry too much about the pistons hitting the valves. You just wont be able to adjust the cams as much as you would with stock cams. Your tuner should know more about it, just ask them...

the head is fully built. i just need to know if there is enough valve clearance with the stock ls pistons.
