I had a 408 with a very similar combo to that ,which ran 9.90 on motor in Denver
New ls3 combo still runs those smae heads though,everything else in changed
Ill be curious as to what you end up running in better air than i did?
Good luck

With the converter the way it's going to be set-up to run the amount of nitrous he will run and the 3.27 rear gear it may not run what it could had we gone with a 4.10-4.30 rear gear and a looser converter.

It's really set-up for nitrous use mainly. Cam should run very well on motor, but the gear/converter will probably keep it from showing it's stuff.
