Ok, I have a buddy with an 89 LX with Pulleys, LT headers, catback, o/r h-pipe, Cold air and a black magic fan.....We have to replace his heater tubes so we were going to swap out his stock intake for a tubular gt40 piece, he also has an E cam in the garage sitting around and was wondering if it would work with his stock heads, I said yes as I thought the rule of thumb was nothing over .510 lift, but he said he's heard no, it'll murder the stock springs Anyone have a definitive answer for us? He does plan on P heads in the future, but not till next year at least probably

Eh, you're talking about .444 lift vs. .498. It's not exactly an extreme cam. You'll be fine with the E or the B for sure.
