High RPM LT1?
Going to want a HP pump NOT HV, HV will cause problems.
Thing is a 7500rpm solid roller 383 LT1 with ported LT1 castings has gone 9s NA in a 3400lbs car, put a set of properly ported Trickflows and a properly selected single plane on the same engine/car with a smaller cam shift it at 7200 and it goes mid 9s.
Point being, what is your performance goal and budget? At those rpms you are going to spend more on valvetrain than most guys spend on whole street engines.

About halfway down there are some ported stock heads dyno graphs. Again, that is ported stock heads.
I don't put the faith in AFRs that most do, nor do I believe "heavily ported" has to be a good thing. I draw a distinction between the best bench racing parts and the best actual racing parts.
Ls1 pcm can go way higher than the Lt1. there is a full thread about the conversion that Mike at above company has helped to create.
-AFR's hand ported to 212cc
-62cc chambers
