Motown 454

Hi I have a World crate motor 454 sbc it makes 600 hp @6400 and 575 tq @ 4200. The heads are Motown lite 220s they have 2.125 intake valves and 1.60 exhaust they said there was some work done to the heads from World to make the HP. They didn't say what. It has a Motown intake with a 1050 dominator. The cam is a Crane cam 536 in 554 e , 252/260 @ .050 cl is 112 solid flat tappet.
My questions are
I'm going to run a Fast XFI with a Fast 4150 4brl tb. I have two manifolds I have the Motown 4500 series manifold its not set up for EFI . I also have an Edelbrock 29875 efi Victor manifold . Which will give me the most hp? I don't want to lose any hp from the swap. Am I better off keeping the Motown and set it up for EFI or spend the money and have some work done to the Victor?
In the future I am thinking of going to a solid roller . World puts one in their new 454 crate motors. They said my motor is setup so it will fit with no valve to piston lift issues. It would be checked to be sure before running it. Thier new heads have bigger ports 230 but smaller valves. 2.08. would this cam give me much extra power using my same heads with the right springs? The cam is a Comp Cams is 576 in/ 582e 248/254 @ .050 on 110 cl would there be much of a gain or would it be wasted by going too high in the rpm. It will be mostly a street motor . But I love hp
Its going in 69 Camaro with a 6 spd and a fab 9 not sure on ratio yet with a 4 link. and 345 rear tires. Thanks Wayne
