I like those durations,splits & lifts! alot for the AFR 210s and your goals/combo. A FAST 90/92 with 90/92 TB would be worth 15-25 through
your whole curve 3000-7000 RPM. I would go 115*+3* BUT and its a big BUT LOL, Im over 50 and favor stealth & low speed manners.
112+3,113+4 all splitting hairs.

The AFR cathedrals because of their outstanding flow & E/I relationship need less exhaust split and/or overlap to provide excellent results
along with much better low speed manners and driveability with small to medium cams.
Just dont choke it down with the LS6 Intake any longer than financially necessary.
My .02.
Good Luck

That is a great compliment to AFR 210 heads. Great midrange.

What gas are you running? Do you know your current CR?

no current CR as engine is being built for a conversion to a 70's street car, fuel will be pump gas 95 or 98 octane

With that static CR and the suggested cam, should the dynamic CR allow using gas even lower than the 95-98 octane he predicts using?
I hope that doesn't sound too naïve...

Usually when I see 95 or 98 I presume it is outside the us. Often foreign 98 is about like our 93.
