Default High comp Forged 5.3|T56 Twin Disk| Nitrous Coupe

First time venturing off from auto cars, only reason im doing the 6 speed is because the car came equiped with a built Tick T56 when i bought it so i have decided to just upgrade the clutch and see how fast i can go! Cool thing is i can have a very streetable set up that i can even go out of town in!

I bought the car with a iron 6.0 small cam and ported 243's/Fast 90. Car ran pretty strong but the new forged 5.3 this motor was already being built before i even considered buying this car. It is a smaller cube engine but much more compression, cam and better heads so power should be similar?

Goal is to run 10's on motor and mid 9's on 250 shot. During this stage im dropping just a hair over 300lbs between aluminium motor, carbon seats, control arms, coil overs and hood.

Engine:
Forged Aluminium 5.3 stock bore
12.0:1 Compression
TFS 205's out the box
BTR stage 4 (235/242 111+2)
Black Fast 102/102 unported
Nitrous outlet hard lined plate
A/C equipped
Stock water pump
Stock U/D Pulley
PSI conversion Harness
LPE 2 step
NOS mini progressive

Exhaust
1 7/8 long tubes
3" mandrel bent
3" x pipe
(2) 3" vibrant resonators
(2) 3" Magnaflow bullet race mufflers
3" Tail pipes out the back

Drive train
Tick level 2 T56
Monster LT1-SC twin disk
Tick master slave
MGW shifter
Built 8.8 31 spline w/ 9" ends narrowed 3" total
PST aluminium D/S
Weld RTS 15x10 5.5BS 28x10.5S
Weld RTS 17x4.5 1.7BS MT sportsman 26x6R17

Fuel system
Debating E85 or 93 and dedicated nitrous system
Siemen 60lb injectors
-6 return -8 feed
Stealth 340 ( might add second or BAP)

Suspension
UPR anti roll bar
Strang 10 way adj shock on all 4
Adj upr upper and lower arms
Aje C-arms
Aje k member
Front Coil over conversion 12-175's
Travel limiters

Other weight being pulled

Flaming river manual rack
Unlimited carbon fiber seats racecraft seat brackets
Rear seat delete
Boss pro cowl 3.25" hood
Remove front/rear bumper support

What kind of power do you think this thing will make? After speaking with Brian Tooley I'm thinking around 450. He had said he had a few customers make 500 flywheel with these same heads on a 5.3 with less compression and a TFS stage 3 cam which has 5* of overlap (228/230)

Some pictures!

I am as well! I know its a small motor but I don't see why it won't make 540-560 flywheel which is around 455-475 to the wheels. I'm not real sure yet what it weighs since I'm waiting on my clutch before I put motor back in but I'm guessing 2800-2850 with me. At that power level and weight it SHOULD Fo 126-127 on motor of course in due time .
