With a virtually identical cam but local shop ported heads I ran 11.7s.

The rest of the car will be just as important as the motor - I notice a lot of suspension missing and I had full suspension minus k-member and springs. My 60' was 1.5x.

If you search even Lloyd has posted that home port matching is a poor idea because you can create a fat spot in the middle of the combined intake port making the airflow change to the large area and then speed back up as it narrows again.

The Dual plane intake is going to hurt HP as compared to LT1 intake results but likely improve lowend torque. Which is fine but just understand it.

The HV oilpump will destroy the oilpump drive so you can blowup the engine and get to try a second go at this.

The ls7 lifters have tons of failures I'd reuse your stock ones.

Well this is the setup i have been running for over 15k and it seems fine, ive never heard of a high volume oil pump making an engine fail but i was told not to use a high pressure pump though. And ls7 lifters are stock replacements now for lt1 and this motor was blown up when i got it and had alot of metal in it so thats why i didnt re use my lifters
