tell us more like what brand are the pistons, what size are the valve reliefs, what heads, what size valve. most aftermarket pistons have a pretty good size relief and you should be able to run a trickflow stage 3. always check piston to valve clearance if your unsure

Your valve reliefs look deep, but that picture doesnt show how much deck spacing you have left. i guess do the playdough test, it never lies. GO FAST! SHAKE N BAKE!!!!

TFS 2 is small.
I've seen it fit with stock pistons, TW's & 1.6's.
Those pistons can run a MUCH larger camshaft....like an XE282 or 292 with no problem at all.

TW heads have more room (piston to valve) than an inline 20 degree head. But again, even if you were running VicJr's with a 2.05 valve & had them milled to 53cc's, you'd still have no problem with P2V using the TFS 2.
