Question Am I on the right track??

I am currently building an L76/L92. Its an LFA motor so it started out life at 10.8:1 with 243 heads. The heads will have mild porting in the exhaust chambers, 5 angle valve job and milled .020. The cam is a comp grind 227/242 .614 .615 113 +4 (LSR intake and LXL exhaust). I don't care about dyno numbers, but I am hoping to get in to the 10's NA. For now I am staying the pace setters and adding a cut out to help at the track. On the intake side I will be going with a 104 lid, 92mm MAF and throttle body. Current setup had me at 1.68 60' 11.6x at 118mph DA of ++3000ft. I am pulling the trigger tomorrow on certain parts and would like some educated opinions

save your money on the lid and MAF setup. you should make your own 4" CAI and run speed density.
