Im gonna assume you know that those heads call for aftermarket roller rockers. The tfs heads have bronze guides and will wear prematurely

Yes-but not if you order the heads with PM guides and keep the lift in the .600 range.

Lift doesn't matter as long as it's under .630 for stock rockers with the powdered metal guides.

I like that lobe combination. LSL and LXL are some of my favorite combinations with stock rockers. Who did the cam and what is the LSA any advance?
