Camshaft Flat tappet HYdraulic 440/454 lift
Heads TFS-30400001can take up to a 520 lift cam.....

now i looked these heads upin particular and they are giving completely different stats even a cc difference... could they just be built different for the kit??

You can use a roller cam. All you need to verify is that the heads can handle the lift the cam will produce with the rocker ratio that you are going to use.

Whether or not it is worth it - you could reach your goal with ported 305 heads, but the "worth it" part is a decision you have to make.
