Like a tried and true combo. A lot of people are happy with setups similar to that.

I would go up to a 3600 stall, I have a Yank, it drives like stock until you get on it. Other than that I would get ready to replace the 10 bolt when you are on those slicks lol.

Get a set of TEA, AI, WCCH or other quality ported 243/799 heads instead of 5.3's. Mine did not impress at me at all......

Edit: Do some adjustable LCA's and adj.TA to plant your rear better and improve your 60.....

Pretty similar to my planned setup as well. Only have the SLP LM so far, bu I've got LTs and ORY in the works. I'm with SOMbitch though, After my Lt's and ORY I'm getting LCAs and subframe connectors
