A **** ton.

FAST intake/tb setup
Chrs1313 ram air
1 7/8 headers
410s or lower
Set of heads, compression will play a the roll in how cams that size perform

That's a start

If you didn't want to spend money or go max effort, you picked the wrong cam. Max effort cams require max effort everything to work the way they should.

AI, TFS, or AFR, would be my choice for heads.

Great info, Dont forget the little stuff like a good flowing Ypipe with the headers(or Y merge), injectors also!

Not just 1 7/8s headers but ones with a merge spike and HVMC. I would also do true duals, your midrange will thank you.

Flycutting would be a good decision as well.

You bought their cam I would definately call TSP and take a look at their PRC 215s. They can custom build you a set that will allow for max compression at a safe pvc.
