ok im not gonna buy this crap yet but jsut tryin to get an idea of how well it would work out together

cam
Edelbrock RPM 7102 cam and lifter set,Advertised duration is Intake 308, Exhaust 318. Duration at .050 lift: Intake 234, Exhaust 244. Lift at valve: Intake .488", Exhaust .510". Lobe separation 112.

intake
edelbrock performer intake

valvesprings
Elgin RV-943X performance valve springs, 116# @ 1.70" installed hight, 297# @ 1.21", coil bind @ 1.16". These are 1.260" diameter, says its good for cams up to 500 lift the cam is just a hair higher

carb
600cfm edelbrock 4 barrel

now i got heads with the 2.02 valves in it and the engine itself is 60 over and the heads are also milled 30. it needs more power and i can get all this used off ebay for about 150 dollars, i am bargin shoping, it has power now but not as much as i want it to have.

I'd go with the Performer RPM intake and I'ld also spring (pun intended) for the valvesprings that are matched to that cam. You might not think .010 is alot but look at the 1.21" and where coil bind starts. .005" That much may stack the coils and cause bent pushrods or something worse. It might be woth looking into a bigger carb too, 600 might be small depending on how you plan on driving it.
