I've got veetwo cams I'm going to use, so I have an extra set of lightly used WebCam cams in good condition I'd sell for 1/3 price, but you'd need to buy the adjustable gears, which are expensive http://webcamshafts.com/ . New the set of cams and gears would cost $1054 but this way it would only cost you $668 and you have new gears. These already have the mounts for the adjustable gears welded on, so you can't use stock gears anymore. Is this for a TLS or TLR? Aftermarket cams don't work well unless you raise the compression higher than the stock TLR. The Wiseco pistons are the same compression as the stock TLR regardless of what Wiseco says; you'd have been much better off for less money with just the J&E than Wiseco and cams. So you'd need to shave your heads, and .020 is the max you can take off. That could work OK if you set squish carefully.

The lesson is to use J&E unless you can get Wiseco to raise the dome on their pistons.
