Here is my combo. I shift at 5600 and cross the stripe in the 1/4 at 6100. Runs 11.0's at 4000lbs. Idles great and if I ever want to go back to power brakes I have plenty of vacuum.

400 bock
440 Source kit
0 deck w/Diamond flat top pistons.
M1 4500 intake w/1" spacer
1050 dominator
Comp Cams solid ,XS282S
Harland Sharp 1.6 Rockers

My heads are not as good as the TF240's. I run Eddy Performers 84 cc. Minor bowl clean up only.
The cam is small for the engine but I knew this. The car is a leaf spring car w/caltracs. Wanted a 4-4200 stall convertor, PTC got close at 4500. No problems on the street. Converter is tight and will move at idle. Absolutely love the set up.
