Should be good for at least 325 rwhp.

Get PAC 1218 springs from SDPC (http://www.sdpc2000.com/product/SDL1...S1Setof16.aspx)

And 7.425" hardened pushrods from TSP

the cam has a smaller base circle. 7.4 will work but will be noiser. Comp recommends 7.425

a tb converter is not a stall converter it would "work" but a 3000-3400 converter would be best
