Default how does this sound?

car is a 98 camaro.

talked with my engine builder yesterday and the block is goin to be a LQ4 with a forged 4.000 crank, still need to finalize pistons to get down to 9.5 to 1, 6.200 forged rods, nitrous rings, clevite rod and main bearings and the heads goin on are stage 2 243 heads with 67cc's and a LS6 intake. reason for the 243's is because i have a set in my garage that i just got not long ago and from talkin with sponsors and some tuners they can outflow a 317 after the intake and exhaust port job they'll recieve. for the time being the engine will be run N/A until i buy the roots style blower to sit on top next year, with that being said the cam will be a 22X/23X on a 117LSA so when the blower comes i don't need to switch out cams. so how does this plan sound?

btw the trans will be a level 3 performabuilt trans with a 2800 stall i know some people will say to run a larger stall but once the blower is on top i wont need a larger stall , so i wouldn't want to drop the trans twice

the harrop HTV 2300


disregard the hemi underneath it hahahahaha but you get the point
the maggie would be too small for anything bigger than a 383 so with a 402 i'll definitely need something that'll move more air through
