starting my build is this a good setup?
I have a 1992 camaro z28 350. I want to run AFR heads with hotcam. TPIS lower intake and runners. I have a edelbrock throttle body, hooker 2460 headers, already which i would like to keep. what do you think will all this work together or what should i change. i am not going to monster power or anything. i might be intested in superchargering someday. thanks for any input before i start laying down money for all this.

I wouldn't waste my cash on the AFR heads if you are just planning a mild build using a relatively small cam. You'll kind of be paying for performance that you won't be using (at least any time soon)

If you can afford the AFR heads, get the 180 cc version, with 65cc chambers. They're the very best heads for SBCs, especially when using a power adder ( nitrous / boost).
There's no disadvantage to them except the initial cost. The HOT cam isn't the best choice, it gives away too much low-rpm torque, down below about 2500 rpm. But if you're running a 2500-stall converter and 3.42:1 gears, then go for it.
