Default Lq4 swap plans & problems

Hey everyone, newbie to ls1tech... i go on this forum everyday and i finally registered.... anyways ive got a 2002 blazer extreme that i traded for and i have plans to do a lq4 swap..... upgrades will be....

lq4 block .030 over
wiseco pistons
callies compstar h beam rods
stock crank
ls3/l92 heads
ls3/l76 intake... port matched tb/ cable driven
custom cam... unsure maybe 22x's/23x's .58x/.59x 114lsa exhaust bias?
revised comp 918 springs
ls2 timing chain
arp hardware
h3 oil pan kit
cpw wiring harness/ecu
gmpp accessory drive system (paceperformance)
upgraded 4l60e
stock rear end for now
qa1 suspension
caltracs

im sure im missing a few things that i have planned but my biggest issues is finding headers for s10 swaps with ls3/l92 style heads.... can anyone point me in the right direction??? Also any other pointers or tips or recommendations will be greatly appreciated. I know it will not be a weekend project... probably be 2 years to complete everything so bear with me to see finished project... thanks in advance

Also looking to put down over 400 to the wheels. think this is a good start? i want compression to be between 9.5 - 10 to 1. looing to build this thing as a daily driver/weekend drags... any advice?

On the lq4 Id keep the comp ratio over 10:1 to help make more power and not have a lazy bottom end and crisp throttle response.Having ls3 topend will benefit from more compression if you are not going boost.

Only other things Id suggest while you are in the process of getting parts would be an underdrive pulley.I dont know about headers for that particular swap on those heads.
