That is not true. I ran TW heads with the 2.02 valves on a stock shortblock (with AFM cam) for a very long time. It all depends on the duration of the cam. That combo went 11.96 n/a... http://www.the-arnolds.net/Cobra/updates.htm#1999stats

I read the thread. Again, I ran both a Crane 2031 and a custom cam from Anderson with those heads for over 35,000 miles on the street. This is my experience. Now... it's been a long time... and I had one of the very first sets of TFS heads available on my Cobra. Didn't they always have the 2.02 intakes? If not, maybe that's some of the difference. Also, remember that duration plays a bigger role in getting P/V clearance than lift does.
Twisted Wedge heads with 2.02 valves are the only ones that will clear the pistons. They are unique as far as where the valves are located. No other head with this size valves will work with the stock pistons...

You are correct. The TW 2:02 heads are the only ones I have heard that will clear stock pistons. I had the edelbrock heads, cobra intake, e cam with 1.6 rr's on my 92 GT and I thought it ran great. Sounded hauss!! I did have to notch those pistons though. I want more power from my cobra so I figured I would use the edelbrock heads, a port matched lower intake, e cam with 1.7 rr's and see how it responded. I wasn't sure if anyone had ran 1.7's with the e cam though. Thanks.
Friend of mine runs 1.7's with his 'e' cammed stock shortblock
my 92 gt has stock short block, e-cam, 1.7rr, gt-40 heads. its like the oldest combo going 
made a best of 278hp and 320lbs torque. -without a chip, just fuel pressure and timing adjustments. its had this combo for like 8 years now and 60+k miles
