While I didn't take the time to read 78 Ghost's link, if I can offer some advise...
Forget the TCI convertor, and get the 10" Continental unit everyone raves about...you will never be sorry if you get the Continental.
Also, I have some completely reworked cast rods...the whole enchilada was done, and I always wish I had better ones in there.
You see, as these darn engines evolve, and new parts come on the market, I realize I have to try to cram more power only by staying well below 6000rpm, unless I want to walk home.
For the $200+ dollars to rebuild your rods, side-polish, shot-peen, magnaflux (first, of course), and ARP bolts, just get some new rods from a reputable source that checks the dimensions before shipping.
Also, there are just too many cams out there. Jim Hand swears by his, and I really don't think anyone can fault him.
The ram air manifolds will cost you potential power over headers, but I think you'll be fine. With that in mind, keep the cam moderate, add some exhaust duration, and be on your way.
