No problem, just tell them what your cam's specs are, and how you're gonna use the car, ex. street, street/ strip, road racing, etc. Don't get the out of the box heads, regardless of brand. You should mill them to optimize your DCR, and the cam has alot to do with this.
and who i call bout the heads?whats the number
that being said with the right combo you can be around 500 at the rear tires.

I'm not an automatic guy, but with your stall, and wanting to keep it street, I wouldn't go higher(numerically) than 3.90s. The really big cam you've chosen will not be the best choice, IMO. If you're building a fast, mostly street driven 'Vette, that cam's gonna be hard to live with, even with an expert tune. Of course, you know you have to flycut your pistons with that cam. TFS, and ETP heads will give you more PTV clearance, but you're pushing your luck if you don't do a PTV test.

You're going to have to set your idle quite high to keep from stalling. The smell of partially burnt gas is gonna drive you crazy, even with cats, which, BTW, won't last too long. It'll be a bit of a dog when driven at street levels, until the revs are up. And finally, without all of the supporting breathing mods, your power would be in a very narrow powerband, bias toward the topend.
This is the formula I'd use, if I had an automatic, god forbid.
Assuming the stock shortblock..... AFR 205s, milled to 59cc, with a LG G5X-2 cam@114+4, which wouldn't require flycutting, and if budget allows, ported FAST90/92, with 373s. The result would be a very fast, fun car, that'll require a little patience in daily stop and go, but worth it for the increase in performance.

Only when your cam is in and set at the proper angle with the heads on you can measure the clearance. Using the right amount of moddeling clay and SLOWLY turning the motor until they either hit or smush the clay. Than measure the clay. .080 Exhaust .100 intake Minimum clearance.. Or Vice Versa?
Or roll the dice and CRANK IT>>>>>>

If i did it again i would go with a tad smaller cam than what i went with and mine is a 6sp with the M12 trans....my cam 236 238 i have heads with lil more compression so im assuming my low end would be a lil worse with stock heads
how come i dont ever see you around?
btw i prob wouldnt say that i wish i went with a tad smaller cam if i didnt have to drive the car to work every day
