I would skip the rockers and put that money towards a custom cam. I am not familar with the exact one you are talking about but most of the "shelf" cams are more optimized for EFI which can impact the output and powerband you may want to achieve. It really depends on how much you want to spend. A "shelf" cam will get you by...a custom cam will get you exactly what you want.

Am I crazy or is that just crazy?

I purchased mine separately and it was cheaper...yep, it's crazy.

As stated before...get the MSD 6010 controller. The Edelbrock is not programmable.

Here is an interesting quote that I found...

Thanks, for all the info guys, I really appreciate it. SO I guess for now I will save up some money to get this 6.0 off my garage floor and into the machine shop.
