Default How does this setup sound to yall?

I'm always thinking about different setups to try to get all that I can from my motor, but over the course of the last year and a half or so I keep coming back to this setup in one form or the other. I think I'm really going to start to pursue this and Id like to see what input y'all here can give me regarding driveability/ characteristics and overall opinions of this setup. So here goes...

Stock bottom end LS1 (flycut) with Katech rod bolts
Vic Jr. manifold, port matched to heads
4150 4bbl TB into 100mm lid via carb hat and SD tune (Id drop the carb hat/lid for all out runs)
Current PRC 2.5 5.3 heads milled 59cc with a bit of touch-up
GM MLS HG's
Crane lifters
236/240 .607/.609 110 +2 (3017R/3730R/110 LSA/108 ICL)
Some form of UD pulley

All of this feeding into an M6/9 inch, and a mandrel bend 3 inch dumped H pipe.

Things I have yet to decide upon...
Use current 1 3/4 headers, 1 7/8 headers or stepped design
Use 4.10 or 4.30 gears

Again general impressions or input would be appreciated. Thanks all!

MIght be some more input in another section. I would really try the Gen 3 or 4 external section. Also, I would list your goals with the car as well.

Put it here as the car is primarily street strip. I didn't put my goals intentionally cause most will say get a fast and Pamela Anderson cam. This is the setup I'm going to use I just wanted to see what people thought like "should run well at the track" "your going to have to spin to the moon" "should make in the neighborhood of xxxrwhp" etc etc

EDIT: also posted in gen 3 internal.
