I see you are in Houston. Greg Good is a very good head porter from Houston and a member here, I would talk to him about your plans and budget.

If you want an off-the-shelf setup, I would look at TF235, AFR 225 or ETP 240 w/ a ported Fast 90/90.

As far as a cam : Cam Motion 246/250 .632/.628 113+3 or 253/257 113+3, with the above heads and 11.5 to 12.0/1 cr will make 550 rwhp/low 500 rwtq.

I've got 853 factory castings Stage 3 ported by MTI and I made 547/513 thru an automatic with the 246/250 Cam Motion on a 116 lsa. A few more cubes is all.

I would contact LG Motorsports or TSP, as they have done testing with L92 heads and have figured out what works with them. The new LS7/ L92 heads seem very sensitive to getting the right amount of split/overlap/LSA/IVO and IVC on the money for good results.
