Default Engine mods....your opinions

If I was to get...

-ASP Crank Pulley
-LaPole Headers
-212/218 Comp Cam with springs, retainers, & pushrods
-Stock Heads Ported & Polished with a 3 angle valve job & 1.57/2.02 valves
-New Head Gaskets
-Flat Top Pistons (For Higher Compression)

Do you think I get high 13s or low 14s in the quarter?

High 13's have allready been done without going internal on the engine. Look at the fastest truck thread and see what mods match up with what times.

I don't have a stall yet, but just the 4.10 makes traction tough..

Slicks, and 4.10 gears sound nice for the track. But, I wanna be able to smoke alot of people on the street from a roll. Most of the time, when I'm racing on the street, its either at a 10-15mph or 55-60mph roll. Would a 2400 or 2600 stall be good for that? Also, I plan on getting custom tuning a shop with a dyno and I want the rev limiter at 6000-6200 and the shift points at 5800-6000. I'm looking to keep most of my bottom end and really increase my mid and top end power. I keep getting beat by stupid rice burners. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
