Vortec motor, what do you think I will run?

I have a 82 camaro Z28. I put in a 010 350 4 bolt engine with lightly ported vortec heads that have been modded to accept .550 lift. I also have a voodoo 268 cam (227/233 @ .050 with .489/.504), performer RPM air-gap with a speed demon 750 (vac sec.) on top. Full MSD ing. (dist, box, wires, coil). I have a TH350 that has been built to withstand 550hp by PA racing so it has a shift kit and a small stall (1800-2000). Stock rear with 3.23 in it and stock suspension.

So after all of that any clues?

Thanks,
Andy

12.9 at 102

cam/stall/gears not optimized for 1/4 mile at all

try a XE274 cam/3500 stall/3.73 and get 12.3s then

Im fine with 12.9s for now. I know i need a better gear and a better stall but the stall is going have to stay for now and im not going to put any money in the rear because im saving up for a 12bolt or 9". This is the first motor to play with. More motors to come thaks for the input though.
