yes, you will notice a considerable difference in power. now by newer style tbi heads, what do you mean? if they are centerbolt valve covers, and the other heads are perimeter style, you will need to get a different intake. as for cam and valve clearence, what do you plan on doing? i wouldnt advise going any larger lift than 550 if you plan on driving it a lot on the street

Hard to say without knowing the variables like pistons (flat top,dished or dome) head and block surfacing etc.
