If you run big cams you'll have problems with the small intake valve reliefs on your LS pistons. Milling your head will make this problem worse.

should be ok as long as you clay the motor and take out what you have to on the intake side of the piston. But i dont recommend for a motor that needs to last 100,000mi.
