So let me translate your post into something legible....
You are planning on a 383, forged assembly, and shooting for 10:1 compression.
You already have longtubes and true duals on the car. You have AFR 195 heads and the Accel base already, and have TPiS runners with a 58mm TB on the car now, correct?
You do or do not have the SuperRam sitting in a box?
If you go with SR, then 219 is where I would go with a 383. ZZ9 is too small for that. With 219 it should make roughly 450chp.
If you stick with the TPI setup as it is, then ZZ9 or 211 would be fine.

cam
Sorry about the misunderstood info, i wasn't sure of the 219 cam because of my rear gear. All the parts are not installed except the exhaust, but are laying around. Is there a better choice cam for my chosen combination? How is the superram on lowend? With my computer tuned where do you think the engine will make its power? thanks agian

For a 383, I'd be thinking something in the 230/236 duration @ 0.050 range.
