Thanks Hillsidecycle for the tip.  Will I need to rework the heads and add new valve springs?  I would like to add some pep without having to do extensive mods.  I appreciate the tip.

Will I need to rework the heads and add new valve springs

Heck Yes!
That cam is .650 lift. New springs and geometry are in need of fixing to get that to work right, and live. I am installing that cam in my own bike and I do expect some noise.

dewey already said yes you can,  .030 head gasket is only .10 thinner  than stock and cam is same base circle as stock so p-rod is only .10 deeper in lifter. use them as your heads are already off.. adjustbles only save time when not pulling heads or multiple cam changes are planned.
