i bet i can take my soon to be finished 396 with ported AFRs and single plane with a solid roller and rip the bumpers off yours...and thast with a 6 speed, with that being said you have one of the faster LE head/cam cars ive seen im not looking to get my car to 60' like mad...i want something thats going to run circles around autos on the street tho... hell with a stock motor 150 and a 6speed in a gutted car i bet i could have run close to what you run now though but coulda woulda shoulda...
I don't know you anymore the Javier97Z28, so I'm not taking his side. That is bold statement to make though with a combo which doesn't even run. The setup sounds awesome and I would expect it to run harder then his 355 setup...why not?
I will say be careful since there is a lot more slow big cube setups out there then fast one..no harm intended to anyone.

From what I have seen AI makes great set ups also but are more expensive than LE.
When I orginally started doing my reserch LE was 10x more helpfull than AI. Just My experience. Ethier way you cant go wrong. I just prefer LE.
BTW My LE set up made 413+rwhp through a DANA S60, would be close to 430rwhp with the 10bolt. LE does some awesome work, and Is awesome to work with!!!!!!!!!!
Not many out of the box aftermarket heads work as well as LEs.
Aftermarked ported heads will ported by AI or LE yes but thats double the cost for something most guys will never take full advantage of. Just my .02

We went from talking about out of the box AFR's to:
"ported AFR's on a 396 with a single plane solid roller setup" vs. my simple 355 build...
As far as the 150 shot in a gutted rattletrap.. good luck I guess, but i'm not running a swiss cheesemobile.
are you referring to Javier97Z28? if so I would hope you could do so with the combo you just listed. The guy has a 355 H/R, stock heads/intake combo.
I don't know you anymore the Javier97Z28, so I'm not taking his side. That is bold statement to make though with a combo which doesn't even run. The setup sounds awesome and I would expect it to run harder then his 355 setup...why not?

Ya the race weight will most likely be down to high 2900's since there is another 60 or so pounds i know of and also looking in to tubular k-member. Ya i know the cc306 isnt the greatest but i was just going close to what loyd elliot was saying about one of his cams. And i am actually considering going to a 4.30 rear gear since i have the TH350 vs. the 4L60E now.

Just about everything out! I pulled 100% of the interior out then gutted the dash and kept only what i need(left all wiring in car), no bumper supports, my exhaust stops after the y pipe, no ac components, no powersteering, no cruise control, weld wheels with skinnies up front, and im sure there is alot more little stuff i cant think of hand. Also i have a TH350 wich im sure is somewhat lighter than the 4L60E it use to have. I put the car on the scale then drove off and went and stood on the scale, and sure enough 175. Its def not the prettiest but who cares! To fast for them to be able to see it anyways!
The car weighed around 3730 with me in it spare tire and all back in the day. Ill see about gettin some pics up. OH! And I am looking to sell my Beige leather interior if some is interested, everything you need! 
lol

ill have to chime in on weight, last mine was weighed it was 29xx (as stated in sig) and since then i added tubular k member, a arms, glass good, lighter wheels and tires and more weight out of it. Mine WILL be under 3k race weight WITH a 8pt cage. But ill make a new thread later on in time when its done!! Other then that im shooting for high 11's NA with a cam only car and 10 somethin on a 150 shot.

Hahahaha^^^^ I always love the coulda woulda shoulda guys...If y'all need any other n/a back up from a 3600 plus pound weenie cammed 383 pig lemme know!!! I've put more than my share of cars on the trailer, yet I've never been on one...You don't run the number until you run the number...
To the OP its all going to come down to cam, converter, gear selection, suspension parts and suspension tuning as well as raceweight...Good luck with your build...

How in the hell did you get your car down to 3080 with you in it AND you don't already have a tublar k-mbr????? There's no frikkin way unless your whole car was completely stripped down to nothing, one race seat, no cage, gutted dash, no airbags or HVAC, lexan windows, etc....... probably lightweight brakes, skinnies, bogarts,etc....
example. My car is 3350 with me in it. I have two racing seats, carpet with sound deadener removed, HVAC gone, big *** alternator bracket gone, power brakes gone, power steering gone for a manual rack, i have aerospace front brakes, sheetmetal doorpanels that are carpeted, BMR everything including k-mbr..... there's probably a ton I am forgetting but my car is still close to THREE HUNDRED pounds more.... Granted I have a 12 point mild steel cage with door, a-pillar, and rocker bars but i don't see that being much more than 100-125 lbs extra......
what kind of scale did you use????
