Doing it right -need some advice

I've read that about th Edelbrock package also. So maybe depending on my compression ratio, should I focus on a higher lift cam and maybe 1.6 rockers?
Maybe 1.6 rockers. A lot depends on the camshaft you get. You may not “Need” the 1.6 ratio. But do look for a higher lift cam.

I don’t know if or how well the below cams will work with your Fi-Tec. I use carbs and such is the examples below are based on, the use of a carb.

If I myself was looking for a cam with your drivetrain set up, this is an example of what I might use, w/1.6 rockers.

The cam below, I would use the 1.5 rockers since there is plenty of valve lift for the street, (though IMO the 1.6 wouldn’t hurt anything) with your intended purpose via the description you wrote. I looked for this specifically because it is close in the duration @050 to the Edelbrock cam and will perform in a very similar rpm range.

The LSA is a good bit tighter, 112. Vs 108 which equals more torque. The idle will be rougher though.
