Awesome! Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm thinking I just need to bite the bullet and go with a cam and intake swap.

One more question on the build.

I have a 7qt oil pan with a high volume pump and the oil psi is very high even at idle, and it will spew oil out the valve covers onto the headers at higher revs. I was planning to switch to a standard volume pump, but curious if you guys had any other tricks or ideas to address this issue.
