If I did a 370, I'd do the same. It'll roll out on N2O as well.
High praise, as well as your build is thought out.
I skimped a bit and stuck with LS7 lifters. They should hold up fine in my application, and they're forgiving enough with preload that I can always throw my factory rockers back on with my old pushrods for a band-aid fix if I ever have a rocker break. I'll also be going with Trend's double-tapered thick-wall machined pushrods.

150 plate kit is definitely going on after I get my rear end and suspension set up the way I like... Planning on a spooled S60 and some tubular goodness so that I can hook.

I want to do a Nano setup with all the bells and whistles and an EFIlive dual tune OS, and I can't justify spending that kind of money right now when my car would benefit much more from some good suspension work. Besides, I want to spray out of the hole

Dual Tune OS? One for NA and one for the spray?

I might have to look into doing that. I don't know if HPT supports it, but I can always flash the PCM before a nitrous run...

Sorry, I was in a hurry when I wrote that... Not really dual-tune, it's a custom OS available with EFI Live that offers nitrous control. To my understanding, you wire it so that when you arm nitrous, it grounds a certain pin on the ECU, enabling different fuel and spark tables, so BASICALLY you have two tunes in the same ECU (NA and spray).

BTW you should notice a significant difference once that motor breaks in. I know I did
