I think we both know there are to many variables to argue this point, such as track conditions one day vs another, camshaft taylored to one head vs another, ect ect, so thread jack over, bottom line, use what you like and can afford, if we all built the same combo, it'd be no fun to look at anothers car or see it perform.

What cam would work good with those heads? and do I need to step up injectors before I get it all together?

MM&FF did a similar build using TFS parts and they used 30 pound injectors. Your 19s are probably enough but why not upgrade while everything is torn apart. Heres a copy of the article if you've never seen it.

Hey guys, I got my block back from the machine shop, after getting it cleaned, checked for cracks, new cam bearings and freeze plugs. I also had them prime it for me. While I was up there getting the block, I took my heads up there to get a light shave and a valve job(found the exhaust valves were letting air escape.) They called me Friday morning to tell me that I needed new springs, because the height and spring ratings were all over the place, so now it looks like I'm in the market for new springs as well. I should be building the short block tomorrow after work, and I'll post some pics of it tomorrow or Tuesday.
