Nice Build!
You will definetly get some weight moving fast... but
I think you want to look at your Brakes.
Do you have a Hydroboost system? SS lines?
I see you have rear rotors which is nice, but there some fairly cheap larger rotor set-ups you may want to consider.
Good luck

So now I have to decide between going to cathedral heads with a new cam & intake or keep the L92 heads and swap a new cam and add a supercharger. Either way it is going to be a bunch of work and $$.
Live and learn as they say.
I have vacuum boost and my brakes suck now due to the low vacuum thanks to the cam.

Sounds like you should have went with 317 heads. Ive been reading a bunch of guys are saying the L92 heads are really lazy down low.
how about 317s, smaller cam, and a TVS1900 or TVS2300?
Or possibly a turbo?

My L76 is way behind my old LQ4 in the low end tq department. Your findings just further cement my opinion that L92s are a good HP head but not a good TQ head for us truck guys. I'll be swapping my heads out for some worked 317s and a baby cam, I'll let you know how it works out.

Sorry to hear your disappointment. I hope you find what you're looking for. I've been trying to build a great towing motor for years. I used to have a 2011 ecoboost and that convinced me that a well set up FI system is the only way to go. Unbelievable low end power.
Stock 5.3 with a 1900 at about 7-8 psi:

500 lb-ft at 2000 rpm, that will pull your teeth out.
Good luck.
