Change the pump, only because yours is 14 years old, a 155lph will be fine. The Cobra is cheaper than a GT-40, that and a 65mm TB will be good also. The injectors, you may want those proffesionally cleaned, but do not go bigger. I have used 19lbs up to 380hp, you will hear that that is a no-no but it workered flawlessly for me for over too years. Yet it would not accept the 24lb. 3.55s are good, I prefer a little more, but that is a choice thing. It will be hard to get to the twelve's without quite a bit more power, with 3.55s. The rockers are ok also, I have a set in the shed, yet to put them on this motor. Don't look for any gains from them, just piece of mind that they are better is worth putting them on. You can put a B or E cam, A WR1087, CC258, or any thing close to those profiles with out a doubt. Even heads like Edelbroc, POWERHEADS, Winsor jrs, ect... I am not sure about the really big boys, but these CAN get you to 11s. Good luck keep in touch.
