Shouldn’t be a problem.

My .060 over 400 with KRE heads runs just fine on 91 octane

I use thecalculator onSD Performance site.
With zero deck height 7 cc valve reliefs total .039 head gasket. I get 10.3:1. With aluminum heads that should be a plenty safe deal. Of course all the details make a diffetence...

Actually don’t assume that there 74 CCs, confirm that yourself!

Should be no problem at all running that combination on 91 octane pump gas, if it is cammed correctly

Ok so what’s your initial on top of your mechanical 30 degrees?

That camshaft should work very well with your combination on 91 octane ... I would start conservative with timing, probably 30° total. The chamber design in those Kauffman heads usually don't require much more than that. Also, make sure the fuel side is up to par, whether it is a Carb or EFI, and you should be good to go as long as you keep coolant temp in check.

You should be able to pee in the tank and be fine with that cam.
You also need vacuum advance, at least if you want the best power, efficiency and throttle response for "normal" driving. With that combo about 10-12 degrees would be plenty....IMHO....
