Don't know much about heads. But you will deff. need a tune. With my 30#rs in the car does not like to idle. But I aint got wide bands or a tune as of yet.

I'd look into some tfs fac 190 heads or some tfs 205's......let that baby breath and as far as the custom cam ...let the designer choose the specs for your combo, if you say you want 540 lift, my bet is it's not custom your looking at......

You can make the motor run on the stock a9l without a tune. Obviously a tune will get maximum power but it will run fine without.
