thanks again guys Bob
Bob, one thing to keep in mind when choosing parts is how and where the power is made. There are parts that make "the highest" HP at a given rpm, but other parts make more HP over a wider rpm range, eventhough they may not make the highest peak HP. Intakes, heads, cams and so on are all this way. With this in mind you can choose parts that compliment each other while making the best power over the widest rpm range you intend to use. The end result may not be the ultimate in peak HP, but better HP over a wider rpm range will be a quicker car because you are making better power over a longer rpm range. Good luck.
