Default 1.7 roller rockers and TFS 1 Cam

So, the heads that I'm most likely getting come with 1.7:1 roller rockers. Are these going to work alright with my trickflow stage 1 cam (.499intake .510exhaust, .273/.279 duration)???

I really don't have a plan, I'm just throwing parts at it and making sure that they match . I'll most likely be in the low14's even after the heads, garunteed.

what heads, you might have clearnce issues with 1.7 rockers, a healthy lift cam like that and stock pistons. some heads like afr 185's or larger, edelbrock performer rpm's or victors, trick flow twisted wedge, high ports, or "R" series heads wont work without flycutting.

lol! I'm moving to wyoming in a few months, the elevation there is 7100 feet, that 2,000 more than where my house is. I'm not even going to bother racing at the strip there. But just imagine what it would run at sea level.
