Default new setup?

Hey guys I have a few questions. I just purchased a set of edelbrock performer heads and was wonderingif 1.6 or 1.7 rockers would work better with my setup. Also would it be worth it to switch to a tfs stage 1 cam?Also some hp and 1/4 mile estimates would be nice. Theheads have 1.901.60 valves. I also have aJLT cai and a afpr and guage waiting to be installed. I hope to run mid 12s with my new parts. I have ran a best of 13.5 with whats in my sig. I had beenuseing some wore outdrag radials and a buddy let use his m/t slicks. All that traction kinda suprised me. I think I could have knocked anothertenth or two off if I could have got a couple more runs in. Anyways any info will be appreciated. Thanks guys.

well 1.7s will increase ya lift a lil... and 1,6s will usually be same as lift on cam...i have 60259 rpm edelbrock heads and 1.6s and are great...1.7s are good to but make sure ya have the extra clearence on piston to valves
