Default snow ball effect at its finest!

SO....

i picked up a lq4 to put in my 04 RCSB since i already have the 4l80e in there originally was just going to put a pulled junk yard engine is THAT WAS IT and let it eat....

so get the engine back home sat for a day or so then i found myself ripping it apart to have it freshened up just bake the block a hone new rings and bearings if every thing checks out ok? this was yesterday dropped it off tomorrow machine shop will tell me where i stand

but i have a h/c/i ls6 coming out of my zo6 to make way for a 416 stroker, the ls6 engine has PRC 2.5 243's ported fast92 intake manifold and BTR sage ll cam 227/234 .614"/.576" 113+2

so is it worth installing any of the parts off the ls6 in to this lq4? i cant seam to stick to a plan EVER think i want to heads cam this engine maybe a TBSS intake

i have already a set of kooks long tubes and a 2500 stall CAI

your thoughts?

those heads would put you low 10s CR, which would be nice with a good bump stick (assuming you don't mind running premium).

had a talk with the guys at BTR yesterday was told the heads and cam will work pretty good on this lq4 block and should be 400+ to the wheels? guy said i should pick up more torque then the ls6 made ill be happy with that

my car made 475/415 @ the wheels said to have a 12% drive train loss so that would be 532/464 crank HP/TQ so going off those numbers taking 18% away for power loss of the 4l80e puts me around 436/380 to the wheels, i know thats not a hard number but i think i have a good chance of braking 400rw

any input?

thanks
