Default Will this work out ok?

I just ordered the Following
Accufab 70mm TB
Pro-M 73mm MAF for 24lb Fuel Injectors
70mm EGR Spacer
Edelbrock Performer Intake(1500-6500)
Steeda Aluminum Underdrive Pulleys
Chrome Breather Valve(does this really work, says it decreases crank case pressure and gives like 4 more hp)
Battery Relocation Kit
24lb Fuel Injectors

I currently have for mods:
4.10 gears
K&N Air Filter with Airbox comming out the very front of car's bottom grill thing
Ford B Cam:
. 397-M-6250-B303 Duration': 224°/224° @ .050'
. Lift: .480'/.480'
. Trans: 5-Speed
. Notes: Fair Idle, Good Low-End Torque, Significant Top-End Power Above 4,000 RPM


will those mods be OK with the current cam in my car?
or should i have gone for the idle-5500

I think the intake will work good with the cam..the T/B is a lil big but should be ok..I would had opt for the 76mm maf....but the 73 will work fairly good...next I would buy a 1/2 set of 1.7 rockers to put on the exhaust side
match port the intake depending on your heads

ok
now i have a question for you
what heads do you recommend for that intake?
100thcobra suggests AFR 165
but would an edelbrock head work better since im getting the edel intake?

and what rockers do you suggest? (brand, im new to this stuff )

try the Comp Cams magnum steel roller rockers with their new beehive springs. MM&FF just did a test with them and they were very impressed with the system. the steel rockers have a fatique life far exceeding aluminum and it's the fatique cycles that cause rockers to break. according to MM&FF, the effective weight on the valve itself is about the same with Comp Cams steel as with aluminum because they designed it that way to minimize valve float at high rpm's. you can flex steel all day long and it won't break as long as you don't exceed the elasticity limit, but aluminum is not like steel. it has a finite number of flex cycles and then it's going to break!
