Measure it with the clay. The intake can hit. The exhaust can hit. They both can hit. I've been down that road a long time ago.

Max lift is never the issue. Its duration. At max lift the piston is way down in the cylinder. Normally you tag a valve 8-10 degrees before or after TDC. More duration brings the parts closer together at that point. Too close and your credit card implodes...

The rest of your engine is stock? Get a mild hydraulic and call it a day. Something in the 230 @ .050 range will sound "rumpity" enough, and mid .500s in lift is safe with stock parts
