From his profile, it appears he has a 65 Mustang. Possibly transplanted a roller 302 into it. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
The combo you've listed is the way to go. Make sure the spring in the vac secondary is working to it's full potential. Also, with those headers, full a 2.5" exhaust system and a good set of free-flowing mufflers.
If you want a carb and intake cheap, I've got nearly the same combo sitting here.

I already have my parts. OH and sorry I always confuse people with my set-up .
Yes I converted to carb and ditched the Fuel Injection. Mainly because I wanted to get my car up and running and didn't want the added trouble, time and money, for an ecu wiring harness.
Say what you will I dont really give a sh*t! I wanted to do it ol school I dont care about trouble with cold start and the small mpg gain. Plus the benefits of the H.O block (aside from roller cam) made my $300 dollar purchase of the engine a smart choice.

OH sorry if I sounded pissed people always are hassleing me about not going EFI. Also I plan on going with a pair of magnaflow mufflers because from what I have heard and been told they will give me a nice deep sound. Also for piping size I wasn't sure what size 2.5" as JohnB I had in mind. Would a 2.75" be too much or too loud. I want to be able to not get pulled over all the time but still sound Bad A$$! Also would a 2.25" be too small.

Whooooaa...throttle back turbo, no one's talkin' smack about you. It's all good...
Stick with a 2.5" exhaust. It will be plenty for your setup. Mufflers, not pipe diameter, will make all the difference in your application.

OK,
I did a similar set up for a friend that had an 85 H.O.. Same long tube headers, good cam. He didn't want to spring for a good set of heads so I ported his heads and put in chevrolet 1.94 and 1.60 valves. We put a 331 stroker kit in it. No dyno infomation but he reported back that it was sufficient to beat at least 2 vipers and one 06 corvette. I think both of those beasts are capable of 12 something in the 1/4 mile.

Dual 2.5 pipes with a crossover pipe to equalize exhaust flow.
