Need help with parts selections.

Wow! So much information, it might take me awhile to let it all soak in. I have done everything else on my car except the engine and tranny. Didn't know sqaut when I started. This is just like starting all over again!
Anyway, who is AFR? I called World Products today to inquire about the Windsor Sr. heads and they suggested I wait a couple of weeks (like I would have decided by then) to get their new heads. They are a Rousch Signature series. Basically a Windsor Sr. with improved flow. They claim 200cc intake/64cce exhaust flowing 260cfm's at 0.500 lift out of the box. They recommended a 0.550 lift hydraulic roller cam, 10:1 Weisco or TRW flat top pistons, 1.6 roller rockers, and a 750 cfm carb. They say you can port the heads to flow 310 to 320 cfm's. $600 for a fully assembled set. These are cast iron by-the-way. Comp Cams suggested a 35-452-8 hydraulic roller cam for this setup with a 2400 stall.
MercDude, I did find a Shelby intake for a 351 at Mustangs Unlimited. It has the CS logo and Cobra forged in it. I need to do some checking on it though. Hold on to your wallet though, it costs about $350 bucks! Do you know where I would be able to get info about it? I didn't know that CS ever made one for a 351 either, but it must be if it has the logo?
I don't want to sound like a broken record, but you guys are the only ones that I've found to give solid info without trying to sell me something. So what do you think now? Am I getting overboard compared to my driveability intent? I do think that I will need to add frame stiffeners. Would I need to add anything else? I did neglect to tell you that my car is a convertible. I really don't drive it much. Most of the time I am within 50 miles of home, but I have this desire to drive it to the nationals some day.
I am also interested in the dyno sim program.
Thanks.
