That'd probably get you there. However, you might consider going with some reworked LS3 heads and a ported LS3 IM this year and waiting to see the results before jumping into a cam. The cost will be a little lower and the labor a little less and you'd be better prepared for a proper cam choice if you wanted even more power later. You could also recover some cost by selling your low miles LS2 heads and ported IM.
