Default TF Track or TF Street????

I am gettin a comp camp that is 1600 - 5600 rpm range. I know alot of people suggest the TRACK heat manifold but the rpm range is 1500-6500. Wouldn't the street heat manifold with idle-5500 suit me better???

I'll say it again....you need to do research....You can't run that cam on a stock bottom end, the lift is too high. You will destroy your motor and heads.

From my knowledge all I have heard is that with that big a lift it would crush my stock springs. That is why I am getting aftermarket springs... But your saying that that will still be bad on my motor? What do you think would be a more aproapriate lift. But aggressive as possible.

You gotta worry about vavle to piston clearance....During the overlap period, bothe the exhaust and the intake valves are both open for a short period, but thats when the piston is the highest. That has to do with duration i believe, i'm still learning myself about all that.
To be safe, the most lift i'd go is about .530

try to stay lower than .530 total lift, otherwise you have to get your pistons fly cut
