Default What is a good 302 setup?

I have a 302 with GT40 heads and I was wondering what a good cam, intake and carb combo would be? I will be using it as a daily driverbut want as much power I can for these heads.

A decent hydraulic roller grind, simple OTS from Crane or Comp is fine in the 2,000-5,500rpm range or for a bit more power if mileage isn't a concern a 2,500-6,000rpm range cam, RPM Air Gap or for mileage Weiand 8124 and a decent little 600cfm carb. That'd be a cost effective route. You could also get a custom cam ground. It depends on what you want out of it and how much you have to spend.

What if I could get my hands on an E303 cam. What kind of intake and carb for that and could I expect lots of power?
