Default Hows This COMBO?

OK I have Edelbrock Performer intakes in my garage and was thinking about going with the Performer Heads as well as some 1.6 or 1.7 rollers and an e 303 cam. What do you guys think about this combo? Good/ bad/why? What would you change...cam? which rollers...I am thinking 1.7 but do i need em with an e cam? I am just trying to get my setup ready so I can hopefully get em slapped on b4 spring rolls around. So any input is welcome and let me know what you guys think.

Oh yea heres my mods so far
89' Mustang GT Conv. AOD
14*, U/D, 130 AMP, Fenderwell intake, 76mm C&L MAF & Inlet Pipe, 70mm BBK TB, Mac=Headers & O/R H, Flows w/ 2.5 in Pipes. Shock Tower & G-load braces, KYB S&S, Rear Airbags, 3.90 gear, Alum. D/S

And I have full length subs going in this winter too.

with heads cam and intake you are gonna want to up to 24's for injectors. and it sounds like a really solid set up to me. if i was to change anything about the set up i would change the cam and thats about it. maybe give crane or lunnati or eve jay allen a call for a custom grind cam... but..all in all. sounds like a really good and really solid street setup. jmo though.

What cam would you suggest? a custom grind or shelf? And why? Also what does a custom grind run cost wise? I am a little low on cash so im not sure I can get the inj. at the moment. 19lbs should be able to handle that setup for a little while till i get some 24's right? Or will it cause probs?

i was told that if you were doing a h/c/i swap.. then you had to upgrade your injectors. i might be wrong though. 19's might work for you.. but i think you will be maxing them right out and might make you run lean.
