How do they handle the lift of the roller cam. All the aftermarket roller cams I see have these rediculous lift profiles.

Actually, the only factory TPI heads that have screw-in studs are aluminum, and they're Vette-only.
The factory roller cams don't have that high of lift. That's how they can live with press-in studs. If you get over about .470 lift or so at the valve, you want to consider screw-in.
