Default Total budget build LS3

I've put togethor a new toy for a new project. Was curious what you all think about it. It's a LQ4 shortblock from a fire vehicle L92 heads (new) LS3 Intake off 2010 Camaro. 102mm t-body 235/240 589/590 cam. I've got $1800 tied up in it. Next year it'll get a new cam for a turbo set up but just wanted to play with it this summer. Pontiac blue due to the 79 trans am it'll be going in.

The throttle body is AWSOME! It's a professional products throttle body designed to be used on a LS3 conversion. It opens in the correct direction like a DBW one. It requires NO modding because it comes with 2 adapters one for the fast 102 and one for a factory intake.

heads milled any? imho too much cam duration for the compression you probably have even if milled but youll find out. love new engines how they look all painted and pretty. good luck with your project.
