Slap a plate system on it, or better yet, a plate and a fogger system......
Now that's the most bang for your buck!

I'd race a ford, only if it had a chevy motor in it :shock:
All kidding aside, you got a killer platform, 85 and up SBF's were roller cam blocks, so I'd definetly stay with a roller cam, but up the lift and duration a bit.
Ford Performance Parts # b303 is the cam alot of ford guys are running.
Roller rockers would be my next recommend along with some full length headers.
A performer RPM air gap intake would be good choice.
Put on a Holley 650 double pumper and you got yourself a killer street motor.
Goodluck, Cp
