What's the stall on the converter? very important.
411 gears with a tall tire will help.
LS6 intake would be better
with a 150 shot you will want to retard your timimg about 7 degrees and run cooler plugs.

I would highly recomend a good tune (LS1 edit)etc... . You need to know where you are before you make a lot of decisions.

Possible if you do it the right way.

hope this helps.

4.11 gears are fine without a nitrous setup. If your going to race with nitrous when you do race. Go with 3.73 gears.
