Default Is this setup mismatched? Any estimates?

I am putting together a LQ4 engine with a bunch of parts I iether had or got cheaply. I don't know if this setup is mismatched or how hard it will run after assembled. I can't really afford to change any of my parts right now.

I know you guys kwno more about these engines then anybody, so any advice or estimates of what this engines output could be would be helpful.

Stock low mile LQ4 bottom end
230/234 .605 .613 on a 113+4 camshaft
Patriot stg 3 243 Cylinder heads
victor jr with elbow and 90mm tb and 42lb injectors

Is there a potential that there will be ptv clearance issues?
Any input will be appreciated, Thanks

The cam will work with nitrous, While you have the heads off ,check your piston to valve clearance with clay , get you a set of long tub headers, you cant get air in if you cant get the air out !! And you will defintly need a good tune . And you will need a 90mm mass air , for the 90mm TB & intake.

I have a similiar build going on except less cam. I am using the VRX3 out of my CTSV. I would think the biggest change is to try to up the compression. I am doing the LQ4, but I am going to use flat top pistons and 64cc heads to try to get close to 11 to 1. On a NA motor especially, compression is your friend.
