get the carter strip kit, it comes with a much larger assortment of jets, rods, etc and its cheaper than the edelbrock kit.
If you want to modify it for a few more ponies, thin down the throttle shafts, and smooth out all the casting flash especially on the boost venturi. You can even rework them a good amount if i remember correctly you can also tear drop the legs on them. Also, especially with that combo, youll want to lighten the secondary throttle valve counter weight. This is more of a tuning issue though, you just grind some off the edge a bit at a time.
I have to tell you though I think you are suffocating the engine with that carb. You really need a 750.
