Default newbie question

i got an email from the folk over at zippers,
telling that the Tmax a/t would work on my 2007RK once i optimized my mechicanal combo of 103 BB and 255cams. They are saying my effective compression of 9.5 to 1 is to high for a air cooled street bike. Does that mean I have to change out my cams? If I do, any suggestion on what a good street bike combo might be and what i might expect to pay?
