Your combo looks pretty basic and to the point except your cam specs are a little different than what I usually see. Is that a typo?
If you can get it to the ground, your car should fly.

Yeah, you sure that was typed correctly - I haven't seen any LT1 heads that flow well enough on the exhaust side to warrant doing a reverse split like that, especially at the larger durations you are looking at?

I dont agree with teh reverse split cam, especially since you are on nitrous. Also, with that much gear and that much nitrous, you are gonna need atleast 28 inch tires minimum. Also, considering its a two stage nitrous setup....take advantage of the extra torque you will be seeing and get a smaller converter, maybe a 3600. Basically, I think the converter is too big, the stall too high and the gears too short to run with the nitrous. It would be a great NA setup I think. But thats just my opinion, it may fly like a bat outta hell, hopefully it does
