Default Critique my build

Ok I had posted earlier about spraying a 370 that was low compression for a turbo down the road but have since decided to just stick with spray since I already have a really nice plate nitrous kit thanks to nitrous outlet. My plan is to break the 9.99 mark.

Forged 370
Diamond 4.030 flat top pistons dp11512
Stock crank
Eagle rods
Fast 102/102 setup
Either trickflow 225 or 235 by tea
Still undecided wether to go with a shelf or custom grind cam.
All this plus a 200-250 shot

Thats what I was leaning towards that way I could reuse then if I went to more cubes later on. Any opinions on cam? Car also has a flt lvl7 4l60e and an s60 with 3.73 gears. Stall will be built to the engine specs

had a similar build. 370 Diamond nitrous pistons, eagle rods, stock crank, N.W. 90/fast 90 and a set of stock 806 casting heads that were worked over at Richard at WCCH. The heads flowed better than the mamo afr 225's. i used a 90mm N2O plate kit with NX solenoids. Never took it ito the track but with with a th-400 and spraying 225 I beat a KB cobra that I know for a fact went low 10's by about 2 cars.

Good deal. I should have a little advantage running the trickflows. Hopefully I can run the numbers I want.

Regarding the cam, I like EPS custom cams .. Patrick G or Goeff @ EPS cam match your N2O cam with TFS heads all day long

Thanks. I didn't want anything to radical because I do a lot of street driving and cruises too. I've seem a lot of good results with the eps cams

Thank you. I plan on running what I have this summee and doing the engine swap this winter. This way I can enjoy my car and have plenty of time to get the new build together.
