Make sure to verify proper pushrod length when using TFS Twisted Wedge heads. This is probably the most over looked thing by people.

I got the twisted wedge heads too, I like them quite a bit, though my car does run a bit warmer than it used to and I think it might be due to the aluminum.
its the exact opposite, aluminum doesnt retain heat like an iron head

Make sure you buy the correct longer pushrods.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!! TW's DO NOT work right with stock length pushrods.
trickflow sells the correct ones


Here's some good info.
