does this sound like a good setup?

GMPP L98 Short-block
Phase 2 SB Chevrolet Bowtie Cast Iron Cylinder Heads (as-cast)
LT4 Hot Cam SBC GM Hydraulic Camshaft Kit

TH350 w/ 3500 stall
Stock TPI w/ SVO #30's
will be swaped for a HSR as soon as the $ is here?

does that sound like a good setup?
any guess what it would run in the 1/4Mi?

TIA

Compression ratio? Head flow numbers? Exaust ?

I found flow numbers....Hope you didnt have to pay much for them

.200 130/100
.300 177/119
.400 205/123
.500 225/123

That exhaust will kill your power




Edit: sounds like the convertor is a little big also...

this was going to be a much better motor.
but had a lot of damage w/ hurricane charley.

it was going to be a twin 60-1 turbo.
but now the turbos got pushed back a good bit.
so now i gotta finish the motor w/ about 1/3 the budget.
i have the short block and th450 and converter.
so i need a cam and heads that make good power and work w/ what i already have.
what would you guys do?
thanks again
