Default ANOTHER EPS grind in crate LS6

Got inspired by the EPS baby cammed LS6 crate engine, So when my motor went south I chose the same route! Got the engine here, called Geoff and patrickG speced me a cam. Now awaiting the arrival of the new cam. My old setup was a predZ speced cam "El torro" with 853 and no pulley it run 11.4x. Hoping with the new crate engine, added pulley and the new 234/238 .602”/.604” 111LSA +4. Ill break the 10's.What you guys think?
