Your carb is too big, try a 600/650.
Cam: 255/265 or 260/270 Max adv duration. Always use a dual pattern.
Heads: Use your stock heads and do a little blending in the valve pockets. Do NOT gasket match the ports.

Yes, but not by much, and you don't need it for a daily driver. Too much flow capacity will hurt your bottom end.
