My setup:
Cobra intake
24lbs inj
GT40 Y303 heads
LT's
3.55s
1.6 RRs

if you run the stage 2 tfs cam i'd get some valvesprings to hold up to it. otherwise it'll float too early and possibly may hit piston to valve.

355 gear might not be enough for a stage 2 cam ,I have the stage 1 and love it--- sounds good runs good and it idles good,[no stalling]

Stage 2 may be a little bit too much cam for the Y heads. I'd go with the TFS 1 cam
