Help upgrading old combo Currently running patriots old ls6 style stage 2 59cc heads, tsp 231/237 cam, ls6 intake bbk 85mm tb, pace setter 1 3/4, 3" ory, cut out, speed density tune 12.8 afr 27deg timing, m6.
Car went 12.1 @ 115 mph on motor 11.17 @ 123 with 125hp shot, no dyno numbers and no official weight of car though it is a full weight vert with cage, & subframes. Was never happy with the numbers always thought it should go 117-118mph on motor with our good air and sea level track.
New goals 11.6 @ 118-120 mph on motor, 10.8-10.9 @ 128-130mph on 150 shot.
Car is a weekend warrior not worried about daily driver qualitys. Not really interested in changing the heads at this point as more cubic inches will be in my future. Thinking ported fast intake and tb with different cam. Looking for advise with cam selection or what else I might be missing with this combo.

Vendors feel free to throw a suggestion out here this purchase will be made prior to xmas if parts are available. My wifes gift to me bless here soul.
Thinking of vengences vindicator cam with a fast 92/92 ported combo and the u/d pulley I'm missing. Any one have an opinion if this will get me to my goals? Or could I reach my goals with a cam giving me more power under the curve with better driveability and idle quality's.
The big cam sound seems to discourage every one from wanting to play around here. A little more stealth may be more fun not to mention less frustrating to tune.

You're not going to be able to fit alot larger camshaft in there without flycutting. The heads would be a place to pick up some nice power, and that intake manifold as well!

The heads are the old weld up chamber unmilled lq9's, I assumed I could get more cam in with out the fly cut.
Matt I'll call you guys tomorrow about the intake and u/d pulley, looks like you have a pretty good deal on both.
