i'd pick something other than an alphabet cam probably a comp somewhere around high 270s to low 280s advertised

30# injectors will be to much i've run 427 inch windsors with 30#s with out a problem

24lbers will be fine. afr's are great heads to get and the systemax II intake is the proven best power making 5.0 intake. there is nothing wrong with the e cam but you can make more power with a better suited cam with the whole combo.

making it a bad cam for the application ^^ id go with some nice long tubes, bassani x pipe and catback. MAybe save up for a really bullet proof low compression short block with a nice t-trim topping it off.

30's are EXACTLY what you want with that combo! I run 30's in my 302 set up. Theres better cams than the E303 for the record..

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
