okay well if you just want a quick fix get a different cam. the lt4 hotcam is about useless, just fyi. I would go custom grind if your going to do NOS or check out the XE-R series. If you want the most common recomendations then here they are for aggresive setups....cc306, gm847, gtp-6. Also...get a bigger stall...3200 ish because these cams respond well to them and with your heads being ported etc your powerband will be a little higher. Another thing...ditch the 4.10s. You will run out of gear way too fast especially on the spray unless you are running a 30" tire or something huge like that. Just my .02

4.10 suck big time, my friends formula had them with the a4, and the car seem to have no top end. anyways go 3.73 thats what he did and it still acts great on the highway.
