I can see already that your snout pulley is too big. You haven't even broken the first ring land you're in need of a smaller pulley.

1.The 7.425 pushrods; I already have 7.400 new in the box. No way to use those? I can swap if absolutely necessary.
2. I also have a Comp custom 220/234 .581 .598 115* (no advance) Attached cam card. What advantages/disadvantages do you see over this cam and the one you spec’d? Enough to warrant ordering the new cam?

The recommended cam will make quite a bit more power while still having good street manners. Also, the lobes I've chosen are more stable under boost because of their endurance configuration.

my EDC measured cam specs @ .050 came out to:

224/238.5 600/586.5 115.875LSA, 3.375 advanced

I started looking for something fun to put together.
Found a short block for sale. Bought it. Found some heads. Bought them. Found a TVS2300. Will buy soon. Gonna need a blower cam. Gonna need a meth kit, I think.
So far I have the short block:

Brand new gm 6.0 block-Arias -3cc forged pistons-Total seal piston rings--Eagle forged H beam rods-Eagle 4.0 forged crank with 58x reluctor wheel-Clevite H main bearings-Clevite G rod bearings-All ARP bolts-brand new truck oil pan -new ls2 front and rear covers-ls7 cam sprocket-ls2 chain-ls2 lifter trays-ls7 lifters-high volume melling oil pump-cam spec'ed out for this motor. 231/239 617/624 lift 113+4 (gonna swap this)
The heads are from Richard at WCCH. They are LSA heads (LS9/ZR1) flow 350CFM at.600/ 75cc chambers w/Patriot Extreme Gold springs
Lingenfelter 58X to 24X crank trigger conversion box, LS9 head gaskets, ARP head bolts, ARP crank bolt. Thinking about an UD balancer.
The blower: TVS2300, 60# injectors, HD tensioner, intake tubing, and front bracket. Don’t know the pulley size yet. Nose drive/\.
With the CR at 10.4:1 I plan to run 10psi. I’m not sure what the TVS2300 will do on a 408.
All this will run through my PI triple disc 2600rpm converter and built 4l80E, 3” OD aluminum drive shaft w/1350 yokes, and my..wait for it…lol…10 bolt w/Eaton posi and 4.10 gears.
Current plan is to get a running tune and drive it 3hrs to TX Speed for a dyno tune.
Might have it together by March.
