Hello, I want to add some oomph to my 440. Will this cam work with bone stock heads & valve train (other than a 3 angle valve job)? Or will I have to do some mods to the heads anywhere, such as springs, etc. I am trying to avoid machining or new heads, etc. I am looking for guidance on the fitment, clearance, etc, not carb, headers, axle, converter, etc. Thanks in advance.

if your compression is decent, it'll do fine. mine was zero deck, around 9.5:1 comp with stock 906 heads, and it felt like an honest 450 hp, with lots of low end torque...easilly spun the tires from a 20 mph roll with 3.21 gears.
I swapped to eddy heads, closed chambers... which sent me to about 10.5:1 and went to an engine dyno, made a solid 500 lbs of torque through the RPM curve.
