so, since i got the corvette at 150k (thats around the earth 6 times and counting!) the thought has been rolling around in my mind of rebuilding the motor and starting fresh. ive been reading alot and comparing alot of different parts combinations and ive narrowed down my combination to look something like this.
rotator: eagle 383 forged stroker kit (with 5cc valve relief)

cylinder heads: AFR 195cc eliminator heads "competition flow" with 55cc chambers

intake: edelbrock rpm air gap lt4

I'll probably end up with a 58mm t/b and ill keep my 1000 cfm maf housing
exhaust: ive already got an X pipe in place of the pre muffler and ill retain the stock mufflers and pipes, however i would really like a set of headers that arent complete garbage. melrose maybe?
given the data from the displacement, head flow and the intake manifold operating range, i would appreciate some insight as to whether or not i am choosing a cam correctly.
according to the math i am looking for something with a 106 LSA, between .600" and .650" lift with about 245-255* duration... does that sound correct?
also i am considering, for the rest of the combo for the car. a larger trans cooler in place of the spare tire as we've discussed here before
i run a 315/35/17 tire so thats around 26" and based on the 3.06 first gear of the 4L60e i guess i need a final drive of 3.54?
and i think the stall speed should be somewhere in the vicinity of 2500 - 2700.
what could i improve on? did i miss anything? should i consider some different options?
