Thanks. Yes I'm still running a stock cam but I do have 1 7/8 long tube custom headers already. I'd like to be ing the 450-480ish rwhp range but I'm looking to keep as much low end torque as possible. This is my DD.
I'm hoping to get educated here.

Things on my wish list:
Lingenfelter CNC Ported L92/LS3 Cylinder Heads
GMPP Hollow Intake and Sodium filled Exhaust Valves
GMPP CTS-V LSX Racing lifters
F.A.S.T 102mm LSXR Intake Manifold
Livernois Motorsports Stage II cam 232/236@.050,.600 /112 LSA (don't know - need advice)
Patriot Gold LS Dual Valve Spring & Titanium Retainers - .660 (don't know - need advice)
Comp Cams 4130 Chromemoly Pushrods - 7.400 (don't know - need advice)

Thats the first time I have seen custom bent Metal tube with rubber ends for the radiator hose.

Lots of work on this.. Nice execution..

The cost on this build must have been significant..

Believe it or not the radiator hose (upper and lower) are all custom cut and welded stainless steel not simply bent in that shape. Cost was pretty close to 20k for this swap but well worth it.

Those are nice heads however that is not a L92 head (rectangular port) camshaft you are looking at. That appears to be more of a cathedral port camshaft. You might get some opinions from the vendors here. Virginia Speed and others are capable and sell nice cams. Also Patrick G on here specs out custom cams very reasonably and might not be a bad idea with a light car.

Sick swap I love it, the looks of a new Z and the torque of a LS. Your at the right place just do a lot searching and you'll find every answer to your question.

Thanks. That's the type of info I'm looking for. I know absolutely that I want to do L92 heads but I'm still not sure if I just want stock or CNC ported with a stock block. Should I have them milled? What will be my PTV clearance if I were to mill them and how much? Learning camshafts is still very new to me.
I have faith that I'll find the answers here with the help of all you fine people.
