T-trim in the future? Your thoughts?

I might be buying a complete t-trim setup for my next project.

What kind of power levels can I expect on 94 octane and on race gas with my supporting mods? How much compression would you be comfortable with? How radical of a cam are guys running and are they happy with the cams?

396" LT4 block
Callies Dragonslayer crank
5.850" Lunati connecting rods
AFR 210 heads, ported @0.600" 300/240
LT4 intake to match
58 mm tb
Kook's 1-3/4" to 1-7/8" headers, 3" collector
GZ vacuum pump
TH-400
4500 Neal Chance tq
Moser 12 bolt, 4.10, c-clip elims
Denny's Nitrous ds

Virtually most boltons and a bunch of little things.

Thought I would get some opinions on this.

Cool I am thinking about going that route this winter too. I want to drop the compression down to 10.1, I am probably going with new Trickflows, about 218-228@50 and spray a little shot on top of 15psi. I like the Vortech chargers too.

I think I might run 9:1 and try to get an quasi aggressive blower cam for my setup.

Looking at meth kits and I have a Zex n2o kit still in the box I might use?

Definitely a kick in the pants....

I am thinking of a aftercooler setup with an additional heat exchange mounted in the front of the car.

I liked the way my Lightning ran with the air to water cooling and I know a bunch of guys with Cobra's making nice power.

I can get a Cobra heat exchanger for free to try it out.

Yeah I like intercoolers but they are heavy and require alot of extra plumbing. But with alky and n2o I think it would be enough to make some serious power.
