Default Proven cam for TFS 220?

I am putting TFS 220 as cast heads with clean up by TEA on my LS2. I have a ported FAST 102 combo and all bolt ons. I would prefer to use a .040 head gasket but may have to stay with .052 MLS since heads are milled to 59cc. I need to know proven cams for these heads to make max 1/4 mile HP/TQ. I did a search but nothing definitive. I have also consulted several trusted sources for cam specing but want to get more rather than less opinions. I know there are alot of very technically intelligent people here so please give your opinions.

Cajun,
I felt my LS2 needed a newer lobe design cam and went with a 235/239 Comp grind with LSL lobes, the cam has 13 degrees overlap so it is a bit rowdy and has some bucking between 1300-1600 but I've learned to drive around it. Look at the dyno I just posted in my thread, the results show my gains of 39/27 at the tires using these very heads with a street tune! My setup was designed for 1/4 mile, look at the powerband.
Dsteck and I will complete the WOT tuning on the same dyno in a couple months, I expect to pick-up another 5/5 easily with some tweaking to the AFR and timing.

Are you going to use stock rockers? An LSK lobe with the heavy solid TFS 2.04 or 2.055 valves, might run into some problems with valve control. I could be wrong tho.

Those are about the heaviest "over the nose" rockers out there. You will not be able to run the LSK lobe with HS rockers with the solid valves on the TFS heads.

My installer tried the HS rockers on his personal car to try them out, he had to take them off due to valve float...he was using a very capable spring, Comp 26926.

I ran these heads with YT 1.7 UL. I sold them to Cajun. We ran up to 6800rpm with no issues on a cam motion .614 lift cam.

I would not do that. I broke 2 HS rockers on 2 different occassions. Since I have had the YT ( 2years), no breakage. I'm not saying one is better, but the YTs have not broken. Credit to HS, they did replace the rockers, but I never put them back on the engine.
