The OP stated stock pistons.

I have these heads on my car and they are pretty much a bold-on
modification. There is no need to change pistons etc.

comes without roller lifters, with 1.7" roller rockers.
First off, just curious if it will give significant gains on the low
end. Throttle response, torque, etc. Will the high lift be too much
for a smooth running street car?
Standard length pushrods?
Work with stock pistons for 89 GT ?
Thanks for any info.

So after some research on the forums ive got my nearly final part list
for this project, all this stuff is supposed to work together with
stock pistons. Im wondering if there may be a clearance problem with
the taller valve covers and the manifold.

I don't think standard size valve covers will conflict with that intake. I suggest getting the valve springs tested because they can be off even though the heads are new. Also, a little port/gasket matching would be good and give a nice performance bump.

GT40X top end kit:
Kit Includes:
Cobra Intake
GT-40X Heads
1.7 Roller Rockers
Valve Covers

Roller lifters FR
65mm throttle body BBK
EGR plate 65mm Edelbrock
24lb fuel injectors Summit
Mass Air Sensor 24lb 75mm Summit
Adjustable Fule Pressure Reg BBK
Fuel Pressure Gauge 1.5" Summit

Any thoughts or insight to possible problems?

Get some new high performance push rods just to be safe.
