You can run the t-rex with nitrous as is from thunder on the 109-110 LSA. It is quite fond of it actually. Their posterboy was gonna run the t-rex with a shot on top of it. Plus you don't need a higher LSA unless you plan on running like a 200+ direct port shot.

And as far as heads go. I would do the 5.3's. Nitrous likes a bit higher CR motor.

10.8:1 most likely. Also a tough question to answer due to CC sizes and milling will change the entire DCR.
