Stage 6 heads gain flow with lift well beyond .5" lift. If the cam you have is 252@.050 it has very slow ramps and limited lift. Not a good match. I would suggest you check out Hughes cams on their website as a start. They are fast rate of lift cams to help you get the benefit of the good breathing heads. I would pick a solid flat tappet to match your desired RPM range and application. Is it street, street strip or drag? They also have hydraulics if that is what you want.

I'm running ported Stage VI heads w/ a 588 solid roller, 6-pack, 3800 stall and 3.91's It screams. One thing to watch out for is if you are going to use roller rockers you are might need to "massage" the vavle covers to fit. The ports are raised on these heads and you valve train will "hang" over top of the ridge.
Not to change the subject, but do I spy Crane rocker adjusters?  Being aware of your previous luck with engine problems, I'd hate to see a post about one of those failing. Your car is running strong and I want to keep on reading about good news.
We automatically replace the adjusters with Smith Bros. pieces no matter how old or new the Crane adjusters may be...cheap insurance I guess. Don't ask me how I know.
