With the cam,converter gears and a tune you will be there with no problem
Personally I would get 4.10's

I like the LS6 springs even if they were the same price. You're certainly going to be up for a big change going from 14.8 to 12's.

But don't you also have to take into account the aggressive ramp rate of the TR cam?

I doubt you will hit 12's with cai, cam, headers, tc w/ higher stall, shift kit, limited slip, gears and a tune. Any links to someone that has proof doing so>? I say 13's for sure, but not 12's.

I'm thinking BlueCajun has a similar set-up and ran 12.4x?
