Ok, I am building my 302 for streetable performance. Then i am dumping it into my RX7 just because ive got nuthing else to put it into. Ok, here is a list of what i have already:

1)1991 "5.0L" 302
2)Edelbrock 600cfm performer series carb
3)Edelbrock Performer 302 intake manifold
4)MSD 6AL Ignition Box with Blaster HVC II Coil
5)MSD Ford Street Pro-Billet Distributor
6)Power Pullies

Now, i will eventually be porting my heads, but that wont be for a while. I was wondering, is the 600cfm carb a bit too much for my setup? Also, i want to have a mildly lumpy cam, what are my options for my setup? what brand of shorty headers should i go with? I have a mechanical fuel pump that is stock with the car, should i run an electric inline pump to help it along? If so, what pump would be my best bet?
Any help would be great.

Thanks, Tom
