ok. looks like it would run. Maybe get predator Z or patrick G to custom spec a cam to meet your needs but other than that looks like a good list.

The cheatr is made for folks keeping stock exhaust manifolds - that's why it has a big number for exhaust duration, to make up for crap exhaust flow:
Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft: "CheaTR" - 214/230 .601/.575 117 LSA. Off Idle-6800 RPM Power Band. Broad power range. Works well with stock exhaust manifolds and catalytic converters.
If you're getting LT's and heads you can definitely pick a better cam. With those AFr's you can even pick a small cam like my TR224 and make great numbers. It all depends on how you want to use your car.

other mods i forgot would be like upgrade the crank pulley...and i want to switch my catback out for a gmmg..i love the sound of my catback its just not loud enough for me


on the thunder racing site though they said it would work great with a better breathing exhaust but my big thing with the cheatr cam and afr set up is its a package and i like the idea of it sounding like stock cam

but i am really considering swapping out to something like u said
