Default Opinions on new setup

I decided to go with a different setup so im wondering what you guys think.


F13 Cam +4 (Should I stay at +4 or degree it a little bit) I do a lot of street racing and run at the 1/8 and 1/4 track maybe 1-2 times a month. I run m/t drag radials around town. I also like to roll race

PP ls6 Heads (hand finished by ffhp or Bo if he gets time)
I shouldnt have a problem with pv clearance right?

vig 3600 mult disc converter
Jet Hot headers and Y pipe (both coated)
Magnaflow exhaust
85mm Maf and lid
TnT wet shot (150)
Stage 2 dry shot(50)

As of now I dont think the 90/90 setup is worth the extra money besides I need to be saving up for the transmission build up and the 12 bolt.

With these heads I can go from 11.0 to 11.8 compression with different size gaskets. I think I want to run about 11.3:1 any suggestions on this? Im from MS so it does get hot here but im running 28* at WOT w/o issues as of now. During the winter it held 30*. We also have 93 octance here.

I have hptuners so I can adjust timing depending on the temp out so is it better to go w/ higher compression or more timing? Does it work like that?

I run 12.3 @ 111 1.78 60' as of now. What do you think I can do with the h/c? Im hoping for low 11's once I get my 60' down to a 1.6. I know theres more in it right now because Im spinning pretty good even w/ the 1.78. With the 175 shot I would like mid 10's.

I plan to give it an initial tune then drive it down to allan at FMS so he can work his magic

Any advice just let me know thanks
