Street mainly, the L92/L76 is just what TSP quoted me.
Just playing around with the idea, I know it will be a few fews/months before any numbers are put out by any members/shops.

maybe like 242-248 114+2 that would drive nice, but that is just a suggestion, would have a nice wide torque curve

That seems like a bit of a baby for 454ci???

as for the valves, im not a guru, but perhaps so sort of modded ls7 valves could work, arent they made out of titanium or something similar in wieght?

And the stock intake LS7 intake valves are garbage for a high performance usage. So you wouldn't be ahead of the curve at all there. You would be better off buying bare LS7 heads and putting aftermarket valves in it.
