You will need a custom tune, so, Hemifever, or Flyin' Ryan. Stock tunes, even 'performance' tunes, still won't run the engine properly, as you are making some pretty significant changes in airflow. If it was a MAF system, instead of MAP, it would be more forgiving, but, it ain't, and it ain't.

Probably just cap and rotor. Wiggle the distributor shaft, if it's sloppy, replace it, if it ain't, leave it in there.

I might go for a meaner cam, given you are getting MUCH better heads.....

Do some research on the EQ heads, Seen some people having issues with them because they are basically unfinished heads that your machine shop has to finish. These are the only EQ's Hughes carries anymore. One of the problem areas is the rocker pedestal mounts. They are left cast and have to be machined flat and level if you plan on using a rocker shaft. I believe stud mounts should be ok. Be aware of this before you buy. Personally i would go with these You can get them in either the magnum or LA style stock or oversize valves. http://www.indyheads.com/images/maxl...roductlinK.pdf

As mentioned above, be sure to do some research on EQ heads, if you are interested in purchasing them. As an FYI, there is an eBay vendor out of Nevada selling complete ready to bolt-on EQ heads.
