Sorry, I don't know the specs on a tfs stage 1 cam, and you didn't mention what size Holley.
Also, what trans and rear end ratio do you plan to run and is your goal drag race or street cruiser?

My bad, the holley is a 570cfm, i thought the next size up would be too much. The trannie is a C4 with a tci torque converter. The rear gears are something I havent decided on, maybe u can give me a opinion on that. The cam specs are as follows

Cobra motor should already have GT40 heads, I'd save the money instead of buying aluminum and leave them alone.
Carb choice is good.
Cam specs don't seem right...Lift should be more in the .440 - .499 range
Torque converter I'd go with a 2400-2600 stall
Rear end with an 8" I'm using a 3.55 for street.
You'll need to change the distributor gear and I'd definately go with an electronic ignition, and an MSD box if you have the $$.

the specs could be wrong, i just copied what someone had written on another board, i cant seem too find the exact specs anywhere. The only reason I said gt40 aluminum heads is because i got a hell of a deal on them. $550 a year ago, brand new complete. I sold the cast iron ones for 500. R u using any type of locking device on the rear.

I know there are better aluminum heads out there but I got these heads cheap, new and complete so i couldnt pass them up. The tfs stage 1 cam was recomended by many on alot of boards and I dont think anyone can go wrong with Hooker super comps for $75 like new. The weiand stealth had alot of good reviews and so did the holley avenger carb. Is there anything in my combo that is holding this motor back? I also have 1.6 scorpion roller rockers. What else can I do too get more hp or should I just be happy with this setup and work on making the car lighter.
