i can definitely say that suspension would help considerably. that is what i am working on on my car right now.

Yes, you should be able to. Look at a XR276h cam, proven winner there, or even one step up. Get the computer compatible version with the longer LSA.
Tweak the valve guides so the retainers don't hit anything and you're laughing. (oh, and a 3000RPM stall speed or so).

Ty on the idea of a stall. I was just bout to ask that. I cant wait to get all this set up. My other question I did not adress was will 24# injectors be suffice or will I need to step up?

what about the cam? im confused now. I looked for that cam and it said it was for a 454.....

help again. lol I think I found a set of better heads than the vortecs. I also want to know if the cam I found will work with it. I want a 170-180cc head right with the miniram intake right? Also the cam should be almost a .500 lift?

BRO-1021004 one type of heads
WRL-042670-1 other heads
LUN-60103LK the cam
Im not sure on the cam but i think one of those heads will do the trick.
And they will bolt up to my dougs headers right?
Sorrry for al the nonsense questions but its my first time and I want it done right the first time.
