I want to take a rebuilt stock short block and add aftermarket heads and cam and get 450 - 500 hp out of it.

I'm looking at 10:1 compression since this is going to be a daily driver and I'll be running 91 octane in it.

Which heads and cam should I get for this fuel injected '87 with a 5 speed and 3.27's?

Also, 24lb injectors and Mass Air? Or will the stock 19's and stock Mass Air cut it?

Will I need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, or just keep the stock one? What would I set the adjustable one too. I don't have access to a dyno, and I'm going to be installing all this stuff myself.

What about that stock intake? Will it be up to task? If not, which aftermarket one will be needed?

And the in tank fuel pump? Will the stock pump be enough or will I need a 155 or 190? If so, which one?

Thanks for any help you can provide. I'm looking forward to building this car up.
