Default INTAKE AND CAM selections NEED Help

I'm trying to build up my 92 vert as "quick" as possible but i work part time so it's going to take a while to get my dream car complete.I am trying to set the car up to bea 331 stroker with an 8-10psi vortec supercharger on a dart block that is completely legal . Right now i dont even have a H/C/I or throttle body mass air or injectors soi want to do all that this winter before i buy the blower, block n stroker kit

I want to go with AFR 185 heads because i think thats the biggest head i can go with while keeping it legal plus i heard it is good if you are going to supercharge etc. The problem is the only cam i know of that is legal is the Ford E303 cam and i have a feeling thats not going to work with my set up but to be honest i have no idea.

Basically i need to know what LEGALintake and cam i should be getting this winter that will work the best with a supercharger / stroker kitin the future ?????? I realize my car will not be putting out great numbers until i get the blower & stroker kit but i dont want to be buying parts twice ! please help Intake and cam suggestions ?

Next winter (2009)i will most likely get the supercharger and then after that save up for the dart block and stroker kit.

I'm starting to lean towards AFR 165's with a nice intake and maybe the ford E303 cam and then throw a 75shot of nitrous on it. My car ran a 14.3 last time i took it to the track and i couldnt run my psi low enough to keep the Mickey Thompsons from spinning because my car didnt have the power to pull a real low psi tire down the second half of the track. But i gotta say they weren't spinning THAT bad the conditions were real bad and the first day when the track was actually good it was more of like a vry short spin / longer than normal squeek that ud get when u shift gears.

Any opinions on that set up ^ ? right now i'm running 410 gears , 3000 stall torque converter, a shift kit and mickey thompson et street radials ? Anyone know if i'd end up running out of gear by the end of the track with a 50 or 75 shot of N2O ?????????????

although when it got dark n the temps were real low i couldnt even use the full stall of my torque converter and then completly floor it without the wheels spinning bad enough that i'd run a real bad time so i kinda had to "feather" the gas because i was scared if i lowerd the psi i might break out of my set bracket time of 14.4 i was running 14.45's all night and ended up comming in 3rd of my class of 81

Ed Curtis @ www.flowtechinduction.com

He is great to deal with and sells the AFR's and intake you are looking at.

He will also provide a stellar custom camshaft.
