Exactly, they work well in my brothers car with a cam that wasn't spec'd for those heads. He made 440rwtq 480rwhp and the tq curve isn't very bad considering the large cam with low lsa and the large split. I talked to Martin at Tick a while back, and he spec'd out a cam that I'll probably use for those heads, and hopefully make the power I'm looking for.

For an LSK lobe?
Really good springs, really stout pushrods (11/32 or 3/8), and lifters that can take a beating. Having stock rockers with the trunion upgrade, PM guides, and lightweight valves would help. Tho with that lift, stock rockers aren't ideal.
I'd do the BTR Max Pressure springs with the LSK lobe. Even with the stock rockers. It's a drag lobe and needs all the control you can muster. I wouldn't go much beyond that tho - too much spring pressure is detrimental to performance. As it is, you'd be on a 6-8k mile service interval with that lobe/spring/rocker combination.

I'm about to order these set of heads too..
Hey guys, interesting thread as I had this same question in my head..
I'm ordering the following cam/heads package and have absolutely no idea if they would work together or not, and I don't know anything about flycutting so not planning to.
((AFR LS Chevy 215cc LSX Mongoose 65cc Combustion Chambers and TSP Torquer V.3 643/598 112LSA))
I would give up the heads for this cam so if they don't work together, what other set of heads would work?
Any thoughts, feedback and advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Please forgive me but I have to ask, why would you spend what will be substantial money to purchase a set of heads and camshaft, ship them from America (to Australia by your avatar), if you have absolutely no idea if they will work together or not, or if the cam will even fit without milling your pistons potentially hurting your engine?

You spec the cam AROUND the heads, not the cam first. Stop limiting the potential of those heads.

I'm sure there will be other good heads that will work just fine with this cam, maybe not as good as the AFR 215cc but good enough to gain torque and power.

Thanks for the input, I will be looking into these set of heads you mentioned
