Kodiak is what they are. Never used them however would be a step up from stock and do have individual runners but not what you'd want if you have much of a cam at least with those stock risers. Also if your decking your heads make sure you check piston to valve clearance with that lift of cam especially if you advance it.
Check on available risers on those kodiaks but personally I'd stay away from them.

I'd be more worried about valve event timing, and radial clearance with a big intake valve , as far as the piston to valve clearance goes. The valve is at max lift when the piston is down in the bore quite a ways.

I had an intake 2.30 clearance problem with valako's prototype dart heads milled to get 9.6:1 comp in a 454 mag with stock Pistons. Cam was 502/465 hp advanced 4 deg.
A heads up to OP to check regardless as I'm not sure what he is or isn't doing with his build. Just simply stating a fact. That cam was only 571 lift if I recall.

No offense guys but I'm not mailing anyone a check and waiting on them to send me something back. PayPal is completely safe for both parties and used on almost every trading site around. I don't even have a check book anyway...lol

I ran a Marine Kinetics cam with 114 LSA and if I remember right around 237/243 and .645/.610 with standard Stainless Marine risers and never had an issue with reversion. Not all manifolds are equal. Gils are more prone for reversion due to their design than for example, Stainless Marine. Due to this you would need a longer riser with the Gil. Others will chime in, but IMO duration is far more important when it comes to reversion than the lift of the cam. What you posted is by no means a wild lift number.
