Default Drag car build

Alright guys need a little bit of input. We are basically building a dragcar the will sometimes be driven on the street we have come up with a basic build but I just wanna get some insight from yall on it.

91 Camaro Rs previous race weight was 2912 with sbc/ driver/ 10 gallons of gas

1) lq9
2) Carbed with msd6010 box
3) Forged rotating assembly
4) built 700r4 with at least a 3600 stall in it
5) 4.10 gears with a spool
6) Plate system 300 shot single stage

Ok now here is where I need your guys help. We are wanting to stay with the stock cubic inch of the lq9 but we want to run a pretty big cam.

Ive narrowed it down to a couple of selections...

a. Thunder racing Trex 242/248 - .608/.612 - 110 lsa
b. Thunder racing stroker cam 248/254 - .615/.623 - 110 lsa
c. TSP Texas Giant Camshaft 248/254, .615"/.622" - 113 lsa

Now we are going with ported stock heads for the time being to see what we can click off. So any input from you guys will be greatly appreciated.
