Default How does this combo sound?

Bolt on only isnt cutting it anymore and with income tax right around the corner I figured I would drop around $2,000-2,500 on the SS.
I was thinking:
UMI SFC's
yank SS3600
GMPP ASA cam
LS6 valve springs
hardened pushrods
HSW dry kit jetted at a 100 shot
window switch, FPSS etc.
dyno tune
I might go a little over budget but I want a stong daily driver that has a cam that thumps pretty good and still has good street manners. I already have some Nitto DR's on the way
I am hoping for at least 11.30's at 115mph+
all opinions welcome

looks like a plan to me. the only thing i would think about changing is the spring choice. for the price of LS6's i would step up to a stouter spring. not that the LS6's will not cut it... just my .02 . good luck with your build bud.

the ASA cam is only .525 lift and the LS6 springs are good to .550

anyone have an idea what the combo would run on the 100 shot?

I like the ASA cam...some people don't think its large enough but I think its fine (sounds nice too).

I like all except the spring choice. Step up to the Comp 918 or similar. I have 921s are yea they're overkill for my cam but hey I know they're up the the challenge.

I'm a wet-kit guy but everyone has their opinions.

On a setup similar to what you have listed (cam and stall a bit different) I trapped 114 N/A. So you'll without a doubt get your 115+ with the N2O.

I predict a 121-124 trap speed on the spray.

E.T. that's on how good you drive it, but 11.50-11.30 is a reasonable expectation with a 1.6-1.7 60' (this is what I run on mt NT555Rs).
