Absolutely not, .540 is max for TFS & stock pistons.

Stage 1
F cam
B cam with 1.7's might clear, there is a rocker ratio calculator online somewhere, "Google" it & plug in B cam lift for use with 1.7 rockers

Stage 1 & F cams have pretty lumpy idles. Stage 1 will sign off about 5500rpm, F cam in my car pulls cleanly to 6k.

Since you already have the Stage 1 ... use it !! You could rack your brain forever trying to figure out the" Perfect cam ". As for the intake ...the gains with a holley systemax over a trick flow R would be minimal and you probably wouldn't even notice the difference . The spacer is more for helping to prevent heat soak from the engine . You may pick up a little torque because your lengthining the runners . But again ..nothing your gonna notice . Don't worry about horse power ... you'll make plenty !! What you should be upgrading asap is the tranny and rear axle . They won't take the abuse for very long !! holeshot

it depends on which heads they are, if theyre the street/strip heads they can take a .540 lift but if theyre the bigger version, i forget what theyre called but those can take a .600 lift

I have the Stage 1 in my notch with the TW heads & 1.7 rockers. Great combo and no clearance issues. Stage 2 will = problems if you don't flycut the pistons.

P.S. Those heads and that cam with all the other basic bolt ons is good for a little over 300 RWHP. Fun combo indeed. Even more fun with boost!

Incorrect
Regular TFS Twisted Wedge heads you over .600 lift,just a matter of proper spring package.

The TF Track Heat heads came with the upgraded springs that can handle .600 in lift. Same as the regular TF heads (2.02 valve diameter), but better springs.
