The TFS1 was designed around those heads..so that would be my #1 recommendation

Thanks. I have considered the Stage 1 cam. So no PTV issues with the Stage 1 cam, stock 85 pistons and twisted wedge heads? The heads I bought are used so I plan on having them milled to make sure they are flat plus boost compression a little. Heads are 61cc. What is a safe amount using the 85 pistons and the stage 1 cam? Compression Ratio?

What about the TFS2? .... Wasn't it also "designed around those heads"?
