Default ls1 Total Rebuild hp? Part? Mod?

I Have A 99 Z28 That I Daily Drive And Im Going To Rip It Out And Rebuild Everything. First The Mods That I Have On The Car Already Built 10bolt Rear End With 4.10, Then Bullet True Duels, Xpipe, Slp Cold Air Intake Kit,shorty Headers.
Ive Got The Cams That I Want Down To 2 Either The Ms3 237/242 603/609 Or The Tsp 233/239 595 603. AND ON BOTH WHAT DEGREE SHOULD I GET.
Then The Heads Im Going To Get Are The Prc 220cc 5.3l Stage 2.5 Cnc Heads.
Hooker Long Tubes.
And The Fast92/92 Ported.
And The Underdrive Pulley.
I Really Cant Decide On A Clutch Yet Im Thinking The Ls7 And I Dont Want A Clutch That Has Chatter. I Could Use Some Help There.
Then Of Course The Whole Motor Is Going To Be All New. But Im Still Going To Have The Stock Pistons. So If Anyone Can Help Out And Give Me Some Tips I Would Very Much Appreciate All The Advise That I Can Get. Oh And Im Not Sure On What Rockers To Get And How Much Do You Guys Think That Ill Put Down?

And you should ditch the shorty's and get LTt's with either of those cams.

Don't ever put slicks or sticky drag radials on your car if those are the mods you're choosing. You'll blow your 10 bolt (I don't give a crap how built it is.. it's a 10 bolt), and an LS7 clutch will be toast after just a couple trips to the track. If you are staying on just some average street tires you might get away with it.

I disagree it depends on how hard he hits it. The 10 bolt is stronger than people give it credit for.

You could put that rear end on a 8hp go kart from wal-mart and break it. Our 10 bolts blow goats.

Guys pulling 1.4x are auto cars. they preload the rear. He's an M6. Pull a 1.4 on a clutch dump and then come back and talk to me. After you pick your ring gear up off the track of course.
