Default Mod bug hit me

Was wondering if I was on the right track for 425rwhp. If anyone could give me some recommendations/input or suggestions on my setup it would be much appreciated;

This is what I’m looking to purchase

AFR 205 heads (Still debating on CC size, suggestions welcome)
LG G5X3 Cam 112 LSA
Cadillac Racing Lifters
Yella Terra Stock Ultra light rockers, stock ratio
Pushrods (Chrome-moly or something stronger than stock)
Patriot Dual Gold Springs
Kooks LT’s (1 3/4")
LS7 Clutch/flywheel
LS6 Intake
90mm TB
Powerbond 25% UD Pulley
Tune

Does anyone have any other sort of recommendations? Will I need to fly cut the pistons with this setup? Should I reach my goals? Thanks guys.

Talk to Ed from the HP Factory, he is a supporting tuner here (I can't think of his forum name off the top of my head), and a LOT of the Virginia Guys use him.

He is located not far from you in Portsmouth.

Also PM me if you are interested in some information on the VA Ratpack Group.

I think that will prolly make a good bit of 425 HP. The heads and cam will prolly be the biggest improver. You can't go wrong with AFR's.
