I had stock 243's and a Torquer V2 with LS6 intake and drove it everyday. It made 380 and 376 and never got to put it on a dyno after Frost tuned it. I have thought about sending a set of 241's to AI and getting the CNC program on them and be a little sneaky with the car.

AI just ported my 853s and ground me a .600 /.600 226 / 230 110LSA cam to go with them. I have not installed them in the car yet, but plan to have the beast running by April or so when the snow melts. This is not a DD for me, and is an M6, but I don't foresee any streetability issues.
The TSP 228R is the cam I would've picked if I hadn't been doing the head work, but I am not thinking you're going to see 420RWHP with that cam.
If you can survive without the car, pull the stock heads and send them to AI for porting; those guys will do you up a cam and port the heads for less than 2 grand and they are good people.
Another option is talk to TSP about your situation and see what they suggest; Jake down there was real cool with me when I was in your same situation.
