Talking Rd 3 Project F#ing Awesome

So here we go with round 3 of this god knows how many part series...
This is the mod list for my 99 frc vette
on the car now
1 raptor xxl cai
2 hurst presicion shifter
3 slp loudmouth catback
4 spec stage 3+ clutch
5 ls6 slave and master
6 c6 Z06 shift ****

4-5 are in process as we speak

in the trunk
1 nx wet kit and all of the goodies (set up for a 150 shot)
2 all new speakers, pioneer 6.5 in

in the mail (STILL)
1 prc stage 1 ls6 heads
2 MS4 cam 238/242 600/612 111 lsa (numbers are off, close though from what I can remember)
3 tsp lt headers
4 borla x
5 borla stingers cat back (lm's may be too loud)
6 ASP UD pulley
7 LS2 timing chain
8 various doo dads and trinkets to complete the other mods, and I might be forgetting some others...

So whatta you guys think... should I be happy with the 150 wet kit OR sell it and run dual stage dry like 75 or so and direct port 175 shot? I am still a little leary or the wet kit route... and there would be more/ easier to control power with option 2

bolt-ons + ms4 + heads + 150shot on a '99 Ls1

I might be worried about the rod bolts. How fast do you plan to spin the motor with that cam?
