Michael,

The Edelbrock performer heads with the 2.02 valves fits find in the Tiger 
with no external modification. Cooling did seem to improve and you do have 
50lb., less in the front end. I would recommend the Crane's version of the 
camshaft rather than the Eldelbrock cam that they want you to use in there 
package, because the ramps are designed a little better for a smoother idle. 
You might want to choose the smaller valve heads to gain a little more low 
end too.
