Default Some H/C/I questions

i'm finally going to be doing a h/c/i on my car. i just scored a pair of edelbrock performer heads from a buddy. also picked up an already ported performer rpm II intake. i'm most likely going to run a e303 cam (any other suggestions?) because i hear you canhave no more than .512 lift on a stock bottom end.

with that said, keep in mind im going to be supercharging the car eventually with no more than 8psi but will also be running n/a for a while with the new setup. so here are my questions: what size MAF? what size TB? do i needa bigger fuel pump and bigger injectors for running n/a or will i be fine for now? i was thinking a 76mm MAF and a 70mm TB but correct me if i'm wrong.

thanks in advance and feel free to give any other advice and suggestions

No more than .512 lift on stock bottom end is complete bull, .530 or more is possible depending on the specs of the cam.

lift has nothing to do with ptv if cam is designed right

I think you would be better off with a dual pattern cam from comp or another company if you are going to supercharge. They will make more power with the supercharger. But if you still prefer an frpp cam i would go with an f cam instead of the e. it will get the air in and out of the engine a little better and it was designed for superchargers if i'm not mistaken. Plus it has a nicer sound i think. But thats just my opinion. Hope this helped you out a little.
