Another 'How will this combo run' question ;)

Ok, just in the planning stages right now but here's what I've got on paper..

BBC 454
Eagle steel crank
Eagle steel rods
Speed Pro Hypereutectic 10.2:1 pistons (not going to run a bottle)
Roller rockers
CraneCams PowerMax CC-314-2 (mechanical)
Adv. Durarion: 314°/324°
Gross Lift: .567''/.590''

Iron heads with 2.30 intake 1.92 (I think) exhaust valves, have been "worked to the max" as the guys says (unknown what type)
Holley 850 cfm
Torquer intake
Hooker Supercomps running into dual 3inch exhaust

Rebuilt TH400 w/2500 stall, 3.73 gears
Figure stock car weight

The heads I was told are the same being used on a chevelle that runs 11.50's, they're the guys backup heads which have been setting around for a while now. Thanks for any input!

Providing you build the suspension to be able to get the power to the ground, it should easily run 11's.

I think the cam has a bit too much duration for the amount of lift. What's the LSA?

LSA looks to be 110.. Duration at .050 is 248 intake 258 exhaust. Yeah, going to really have to do some work on the suspension cage plus subframe connectors are a must lol.
