Default RIGHT COMBINATION?

Finally decided on a combination of parts, and wanted to see if anyone had an educated opinion.
Running a 99' Ram Air TA, 125 shot of NOS, 4.11's, MTI induction, Auburn Pro posi gears, Mac Girdle, Mac full flow headers with convertors, 3" Flowmasters, Star Performance clutch system best run on MT street ET's...11.82.
Adding this combo. RGR Performance Stage II heads, 2.02/ 1.57, LS6 intake, and Competition Cam...custom 5, lift .581/.581 with a duration of 224/228.....050.
Any comments?
Thanks...George

Sounds like a pretty good combo but you don't need cats AND Flowmasters, it won't be that loud with just one or the other. Also, if you have a 10 bolt rear your gears are probably 4.10's not 4.11's, and they are going to be on "borrowed time" with all those mods, especially the nitrous and clutch. I'd get a 12 bolt or 9 inch before getting the heads and cam. Also you might want to look for a cam with a lift under .570 unless you really like changing springs once a year.

Thanks...we're probably going the 9" but we're going to run it first with 'what we brung' so to speak. And you are right, they are Richmond 4.10's. Won't be running the NOS off the start to save the rearend, etc., but we are going to tinker a little bit. I appreciate your input. Just trying to see who's done what and with what combinations seemed to work as well. I also have the artic white, but puuled the light brown carpeting and put in dark charcoal grey to match the dash, etc., and to hide any stray carpet spots that might occur.

I meant to mention there are lots of little extras on it, but nothing that means a hell of a lot to the combination.

I'd ask RGR about using Comp 987 dual springs with that cam. Sounds like a good set up.
