89 5.0 with trick flow track heat heads 1.7 roller rockers, edelbrock victor 5.0 manifold, 75mm throttle body, AFM power pipe, 30lb. injectors, 80mm mass air, bbk longtubes, dr. gas x-pipe, and 150 shot of nitrous. Also how much horsepower should i be putting out and what would my quarter mile time be on BFG Drag radials.

is this a stock shortblock with factory pistons, that have not be notched for bigger valves

u will be limited a great deal cam wise if u didnt notch the stock pistons

5 speed or auto, what rear gears, daily driver (hope not) or weekend beater


and my guess is mid 12's NA, mid 11's on the 150 shot if u dont slide everywhere

and yes i will say that the obligatory custom cam will work the best

but if u are looking at an off the shelf cam, the comp cams extreme energy cams work very very well

Trick Flow Stage 1 will clear, but be sure the have the springs for it- The ones TFS recommends for the stage II cam or equivelant. I ran that combo w/ no issues.
