Possible L98 build #2

I've been doing a lot of research and have posted about about a couple different builds but due to lack of funds and parts I thought I would be getting my plans have changed. I think I have come up with a build that will work within my budget and give me the results I want.

What I'm looking for out of the car after the build is basically a fun street car that I can run at the track a couple times a year and run a decent time with.

The car is an 89 L98 with just over 100k. with stock 3:27 gears
The car already has headman shorty headers with full exhaust, new plugs, cap, coil, and rotor, K&N filters, smog and egr delete, jet performace chip, built 700 w/ trans go shift kit and 2600 stall.

build parts:
crane 2032 cam 214/220 @ 050 0.452 int./0.465 exh. lift
HSR and fuel rail kit
BBK under pulleys

I don't plan on touching the stock heads

What do you guys think?

Lose the Jet chip and get a custom tune. Also I personally would skip the pulleys.

Re: Possible L98 build #2

the only reason I have the JET chip is because I got it for free, and I went with that cam becuase from what I read its the biggest cam i can go with on the stock computer.
I figured the pulleys couldn't hurt since I have to have the crank puley off anyway.
