Its pretty close to my cam I have the tfs stage one 4.99I 5.11E
Mine clears with 1.6 rockers and gt 40 p heads and my exhuast valve is a bit bigger than stock. even so you should always check clearance blah blah blah........

To answer, yes its fine on all clearances, and it will make around 285HP at the crank. It will sound nice also.Its better than stock, so do it!

How do you come up with 60 extra hp at the crank with just cam and no supporting mods?
The stock cam on the fox's are pretty good with the stock heads. I've seen plenty of cars slow down by changing JUST the cam on stock engine just so it will sound better.

what's your budget? GT40s, AFRs, Canfield, Brodix, RHS, Patriot, Trickflow, Edelbrock, etc. They're all good heads and will make a lot more power than your stock ones, depends how much you want to spend though.

Yeah they are GT40P heads and require special headers for the most part, i believe the GT40s are still better.
