Default H/c/i questions

Alright,I have an 02 ta bone stock,I bought a set of afr 205s that have a little hand job,lol!
I plan on getting a 102/102 fast set up.I also found some new accel 44# injectors.I also plan on getting the trunion kit and use the stock rocker arms.
My questions are:
-what lifters should I use?
-my heads aren't milled should I do that,they are 66cc
-I have pacesetter 1 3/4 headers that came on my 99 z, should I use em or not,also suggestions on best muffler.
-don't know much about speed density tune,should I go that way ?
Any suggestions at all on anything with stock cubed ls1 with afr 205s will b awsome! Thanks
PS- I also plan on getting a hold of afr and maybe getting a mamo cam or seeing what they suggest after I get the rest of the stuff together,and I will get a underdrive pulley also.

Cool,can anyone tell me what lifters to use,and what a speed density tune is I tried a search but didn't pull anything about what it is,just wondering because it seems that the people that run it don't need a maf?also curious what the benefits would be or not be
Thanks Mike

You can mill them a bit. I have unmilled 205's on mine, CR works out to about 10:3:1, just a hair more than stock. In hindsight I should've cut them to get up to ~11:1. You could ask Tony for milling and cam advice, and tell him what your goals are.
Headers are fine unless you have money to burn.
IMHO an SD tune is unnecessary unless it's a low mileage high horsepower car spending a lot of time at the track. MAF works nice for being able to account for varying conditions, and in the hp range of a H/C 346 isn't leaving anything on the table over a SD tune.

Tony has a cam for these heads.I would use a fast 92mm TB unless you plan on more cubes later.its easier to tune for the small TB and it won't touch the water pump.you mite consider roller rockers with bronze valve guilds.
