Later on I plan on going to a Lq4/9 in my 80 Trans am. I plan on going carb and running a th350 (all ready have a bellhousing for a LS) with a 2200 stall (all ready have) and a 308 gear to keep it driver friendly. I'd like to have a 12.50s car in the end anyway but keeping it with stock driveability. What do you guys recommend for a heads/cam set up?

There are many combinations out there to reach your goal and we recommend the Chevy Performance LS3 Heads with a Comp cam. Comp Camps LSr for Rectangle port heads would be a good off-the-shelf option with the following specs: 227/243 @.050, .614/.624 113 LSA or it could be ground with a 110 LSA that will suit a carbureted engine better. A Chevy Performance LS cam is also available that will not require a valve spring change on the recommended heads. The specs on this Chevy cam are: 226/236 @.050, .525/.525 lift and 110 LSA. Speaking of the carbureted conversion Chevy Performance LS3/ L92 intake manifolds are available as a bolt on for the heads listed above. Keep in mind this combination of Chevy performance head/cam/intake is rated at 515 hp and 469 tq on a 6.2 block so your desired et should be obtainable.

The LS3 heads are a inexpensive option to the block you have and should make close to the 300 tq mark around 2000 RPM. Cathedral port heads are available with a slightly smaller combustion chamber and intake runner, that will boost compression ratio and bottom end power. Trick Flow Gen X 220 Heads for LS2 engines would be a good choice for cathedral port heads and will also change the options available for carbureted LS2 intake manifolds.
