Default LQ4 setup

Well guys looking to see what your guys think this motor will make/run. Main factor being this is going in a 2700 or so lbs mustang...

Final Combo will be a 6.0 LQ4 short block, Texas speed 228R cam, 853 casting heads ported very well flowing over 300cfm and milled .048" putting the compression somewhere in the 11.0-12.00 range I think, Vic Jr. intake with a ProForm 850 on top. A 10" Yank 4000 race converter to go along with the built TH400 and trans brake..

Whats everyone think..yes I know cam is small but heads don't allow anything bigger on stock shortblock...
