Default Anything seem wrong with my setup

Just want to make sure nothing seems too out of place
- 5.7 ls1 stock internals and bore
-243 heads stage 2.5 milled to61cc ratio
-650 springs ferra valves
-v2 cam 232/234 585/598 113lsa
-long tube headers
-4l80 trans
-edelbrock pro flo intake 90mm and 90mm tb
My thought were the intake would add some torque to the engine down low to make up for the cam having a weaker low end pull...
Also would like recommendations for good weekend warrior/ driver stall converter size for my 4l80e. Was thinking 3600 myself. Would a 3.73 gear also b suitable for this package.
Thanks for all your guys input

Did you talk with Texas Speed about how that cam will work with that intake? In my opinion, an intake like that requires a different kind of cam; larger split and tighter LSA.

Yup. That cam isn't optimized for that intake.

Jake would be better at that than I would. I would send a PM to Martin Smallwood and get his thoughts. He's the cam guy with Tick Performance. You could also e-mail Ed Curtis with Flowtech Inductions (Ed's not a sponsor on here, so I can't give out his e-mail, but if you google Flowtech Inductions, you'll get his contact info.).

I sent you a reply email earlier. I'm worried about P to V clearance with the cam I feel is needed in this combination.

Give me a shout back when time is available.
