Since you have the cam listed, what are the specs?

Are you willing to get a cam ground for L92 heads or a blower?

Not a blower friendly grind. Take that option off unless you're willing to switch. A SC will also require fuel system enhancements.

That depends on how your ported heads flow compared to the L92's. I personally wouldn't go through the hassle unless I was able to go upgrade to nice aftermarket castings.

I'd go straight to the source for converter info.
