The PRC Gold springs are 2 steps down from the standard spring that TFS puts on their heads, so that's a big NO-NO.
I would go with the Vengeance Vindacator cam or the ECS cam, both are proven 500 RWHP cams with the TFS 215's, everything else looks great to me. Hope this helps.

Good luck, that is one nasty bitch you are putting together!!

I think your exhaust choice is a little excessive. I think it would perform and fit better with 1 3/4 longtubes and 3 inch duals.

I agree with the valve spring deal. TFS springs are I believe PSI springs. They are very nice and have excellent pressures. The cam is quite large for a head that is somewhat efficient. Whatever cam you do decide to go with grind it on a 108 or a 110lsa. It will run up top as well. Cutting it on a tight LSA brings the horsepower and torque curves closer together. it wont kill your top end pull.

with a cam like that, the exhaust seems fine to me(30 degrees of overlap) but the gear needs to be stepped up and I hope you plan to spin to 7500 or so..
Streetable? Thats all relative...

exhaust is too big. do 3". and u are not going to run 6.80's on a 10 bolt for more than maybe 1 night. as easy as autos can be on a rear thats just to much power to put thru one on a continual basis. if u have a tbrake forget it it wont last 1 run. and run atleast a 4.11 gear, u will be shifting that thing fairly high and a 3.42 will be weak imo. that with a 27" hoosier or et drag. or a 4.33 with a 28" tire.

With that in mind, it can survive in an auto for a while.
Regarding being streetable, I think your over camming. I was running a little old 224/224 .535 .535 with great success. It doesn't take that big cam to run good as long as the rest of the setup is dialed which it looks like you have most of it covered.
Thank You everyone for you input on my setup. I agree with alot of you & I am going to change the setup as follows.

What kind of piston are you running? Dished/domed/valve reliefs?
