Default cam vs over sized valves?

hey sup guys new to hondatech...im from tampa fl....anyway i have a fully built poor mans type r with about 12.5:1 comp and full rev valve train.i have now ordered buddy club spec IV cams.my question is ive been told that with my .5mm over sized valves i will have issues with valves hitting each other?but then again some people say ill be fine.i really need a good answer from someone that knows thier ****.im ok when it comes to piston and valve clearance i just need help on this factor now.and one more thing i plan on a very big shot of nitrous so i need at least some room for cam timing retarding.thanks look forward to some good info~!

the valve contact is going to depend on the overlap duration of the cam. if its too much i think you could advance one cam and retard the other to give a little more clearance, someone else might have specifics as im not familiar with that cam or setup.
