I'll have to agree with Mike
By Rich Kutzner - 12/16/2001 5:16:25 PM; IP 63.64.215.216
I had a 68 390 GT Mustang convertible for 8 years. With a stock replacement cam (which is the same as the 428 CJ cam), a Performer intake, MSD ignition (Just Pertronix for a while it it was fine), and a 650CFM carb, the 3700 pound car hauled butt! Great torque, high 14's, and all with a 3.25 rear and Traction Lok (which wasn't up to par). If I had ever got around to headers, it would have been scary on the street (well not really, but you know what I mean!). Only other comment, ANY manifold will increase performance & handling just by getting that cast iron pig manifold off the front end. With aluminum heads, you should rock.
Also, after the Pertronix was added and the car tuned, I absolutely never touched the timing or carb for the next 6 years til I sold the car. Just get in and go.

Good Luck!
