The heads and intake are both good. Grab a TFS1 cam and call it a day.

The tfs2 has a bit more lift and duration to it. Which can lead to some PtV clearance issues. If you are comfortable with having your pistons notched, or have aftermarket pistons in the block already, then go for the TFS2. However, since I don't know you or your build, I'd still recommend the TFS1

why not get the Trickflow Track Heat intake?

There have been reports of the Edelbrock intake not lining up properly with the TFS heads... No idea if its true or not.
