Default help with 402 build

I am going to build a lq9 block 402.

I have a set of 5.3 cnc'd heads that flow 317 @.600
they have 2.02 1.60 valves.

Will they make 600hp or do I need to go to the LS3 heads?

What size cam do I need?

2000cfm TB? Solid roller or hyd roller? 1 7/8 headers? Depending on the Cam you could see 600 flywheel hp.

600hp is like 520-530rwhp. That's going to be pretty tough with small heads and intake manifold with small runners. You could get pretty close, but you'd have to run a HUGE cam. Something like the upper 240s on intake and low 250s on exhaust with an LSA around 110-111. You could hit the power much easier with some Trick Flow 235 heads and a smaller cam. LS3 heads would do it too, but you would need to change intake manifolds to one with rectangular ports.
