those look more like mod parts that rebuild parts to me, is your engine old and wore out? are you having the engine rebuilt in addition? those parts are all good things to have, not too sure about the cam selection. if your wanting to put that hp number on the ground your going to need more than that, if your wanting to make some power, just send your heads to Advanced Induction or any of the like and have your heads worked over and they'll grind you a cam. that will work out well, but then again i dont exactly know what your goal is for the car.

bottomend will be redone to stock specs or as close as I can get. Heads are being worked over by a local reputable shop. If I have to step up to the CC306, that won't be a problem. I'm just getting feedback on what I have listed.

I'd have everything balanced while it's out and being rebuilt then. No sense NOT having it done! Also get an upgraded TBody and port out your instake to match heads. Don't forget high flow/high volume oil pump (Note: There's High Flow (HF) High Volume(HV) and High Flow/High Volume (HF/HV), get the latter).
