Default How's this sound

I am thinking of doing a stock cube FI build, and these are the plans so far.

Stock LS1 Block
Stock LS1 Crank
Stock LS1 Rods
Forged Pistons(9.5:1 CR)
Port Stock Heads
ARP Rod Bolts
ARP Main Studs
ARP Head Studs
Patriot Dual Gold Extreme Springs
LS6 Oil Pump
LS6 Intake
LS2 Timing Chain
7.4 Hardened Pushrods
D1SC Pro Charger at 13.5 PSI

I am looking at either an '01 Z06 cam or a custom blower cam.

Dunno what head gaskets to run though.

Opinions on that build?

Really? I have a magazine from a few years back of a guy running an almost identical setup going to 9.90's with it. If the rods really will be that much of a weak link I guess I will rethink this.

why not go with an 02-04 Z06 cam or even maybe the EPP(exotic performance plus) blower cam.

Well, I did say I wasn't sure on the cam, I will propably get a blower specific cam. What pistons are gunna be best for this application? I was thinking something along the lines of -20cc dish pistons.
