did you tell them your car was speed density? i am pretty sure the tfs 1 cam will not work with speed density very well at all.... also.. that would be really close on the ptv clearence issue.. i wouldnt be surprised if they actually did hit and you would still need to notch the pistons... i'm not sure if they are just suggesting it cause it is theres and they want to make money off you or if it would actually work.. i just am very skeptical about that.

Every engine is different..you WILL need to clay the heads before installing that cam and though I'm not sure you have flat tops, I am fairly certain the TFS cam will not work with flats...there will be contact. Should also note as stated above...the SD set up can be quite disagreable with non SD friendly cams and TFS1 cam is not one I'd put on the friendly list.

Actually I'm typing....and I should note your spelling/sentence structure leaves comprehension a difficult task for me so forgive me for not understanding your babble as well as you would have liked. What you've done is state as FACT something that infact is not fact...and might end up costing a member who puts faith in your post....money.
