Default L92 build advice

Looking to build a L92 that I have had sitting here for awhile. Just got a LS3 intake and injectors. Hoping to run stock cube and get the car to run 10.80's or so on motor and then spray it into the nine's on occasion. Looking for cam advice and possible the Goodson tool for swapping the reluctor.
Right now the car has a all stock ls1 with a trex that ran 11.91 with a six speed. Now has a 4l80 with a 4400 converter.
It is a street strip car but mostly strip. Any recomendations would be great.

Give Ed Curtis a call at FTI. Just a thought but 4.30's on spray my be to much. I'm running 4.11's with a 60e and I am running out of gear at 1000ft. The 3 intake will peak in the 62-6600 range.

The heads are stock now. If I can do this on stock cubes I'll spend the money to have them ported.

The ported ls3 heads would be highly beneficial for you. They make roughly 25rwhp over stock heads

Default Cabel1 is rite;

about the gears, i say 3.90.
For heads i say sell what you got and save yourself a headache, get 3/4 thick deck heads, it may sound like an expensive proposition but the only other choice to consider for that kind of cylinder pressure, is the lsa or the ls9 heads, and perhaps the lsx GM. For cam at a cost of only $25. you can get one spec out for your particular combination from Patrick G. Don't wait till you have everything to contact him as he will direct you to the best combo if you contact him from the get go and all for the one fee. Tell him Camster send you.

Or after you get the heads (which are the components that are going to make the power) you can call Comp Cams and they can spec you out a cam FOR FREE.
