Default Ls1 powered trucks help

A buddy of mine just pulled out an ls1 out of his trans am, and I got it for a really awesome price. So my plans were to bring compression to 11.2-11.5, run my 3,800 pi multi disc converter, 4.30 rear gearing, still gonna use the nnbs intake until I can upgrade to a fast, re use my roller rockers, and my morell lifters. Currently running some 799 ported and polished heads, Intake valve is a 2.02 idk if I should keep or change and exhaust valve is stock. Now the cam. I was looking at the btr stage 4, looks good to me, but is there better? The vindicator also called my attention. Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!

Not so - have had both - both are great - LSXRT is much more expensive and harder to tune but produces better #s - best bang for the $ is the TBSS in my limited experience.

According to BTR the Gen V lifters work in all LS based motors but require .050 longer PRs.
