Default Starting to look Down the Road... Pointers

Okay eventually, possibly next spring when my car is payed off Im looking at doing a HCI swap...

First I have heard sn95s are really finnicky with a cam swap, how to correct that?

Also I want to get the TF Street Heat heads and a cam...How and What do I adjust the lift and durration on my cam, I really hate hearing all these storys about people putting their engine back together and their cam being off a tooth, and they have to strip it all the way back down.

Also are 1.7 rockers worth it, or should i just stick with 1.6 and get rollers. My lifters are kinda noisy right now do i dont plan on reusing the stock ones Whats a good brand roller rockers. Also for Rods with a set of 1.6 rollers is it still stock length... And who makes a good set of rods?

And finnally Injectors... #42? or smaller really dont know about this one... WAY down the road I may put a blower on but thats after i get more money and put forged pistons in...

Thanks for the tips guys!

42#ers will be too much without F/I. Since your air and fuel delivery is pretty much stock, 19#ers would be just fine for your setup. If you wanted you could go with a 70mm TB, 75mm MAF, and 24# injectors, and I see you already have a bigger fuel pump.
