What does everyone think of this combo?

91 Formula 350
TFS 23* aluminum heads - stock compression ratio.
GM Hotcam
1.6 roller rockers
mildly ported stock intake (hopefully will soon be LT1)
S10 converter
3.42 rear gears

Any ideas where I'll be HP/TQ wise?
With some suspension work, can I expect at least mid 13's?

Any suggestions on what I'm doing?


Thanks guys!

Richard

I think low 13s are possible with traction.

LSL is the BOMB! Especially when you find all the 'easter eggs" LOL!

Thanks for the info on the combo. I'm in the process of stabbing in the cam right now.

Since the snout on the cam is shorter that the L98 cam, does that mean I don't use the cam retainer?
