Default 302 HO Build Pre-planning

Bonjour, ça va? (That's French for "yo, what up dog?")

I may have taken some liberties with my translation.

This seems to be the place where real Ford engine experts hang out, so I thought I'd post this up and get intelligent feedback.

Planning out a build to go in my 1987 Mustang LX (5-speed).

Bottom end: .030 302,
Pistons: Trick Flow
Piston Head Volume: +2.00cc
Crankshaft: Steel, 3.00" stroke

Heads: Twisted Wedge 11R 170CC runners/53CC chambers
Rockers: Crower's shaft-mount
Cam: Trick Flow HR-236/359-2S1-10
Lift @ valve: 0.542 int./0.563 exh.
Dur @.050: 224° int./232° exh.
Lobe Separation: 112°

Intake option 1: Holley Systemax
Intake option 2: Speedmaster ITB

Exhaust option: BBK Long Tube

Oil Pan: AVIAID Road Racing

Engine Management: Pro-M

Use: Mostly spirited driving. I want strong, but I'm not going racing. I do like higher revving engines--don't know why.

Chassis Info: Maximum Motorsports torque arm, Bilstein HD shocks & struts, Cobra brakes, etc.

Differential: 3.73:1

Any thoughts? Real thoughts, I mean. Am I way off on cam?
