No, I don't think plan A is unrealistic. It seems you have the money, time and patience to accomplish your goals. That is great. If I were in your shoes I'd choose plan A over plan B. There is just something about a supercharged vette...... Notorious must have a killer combo put together so if you choose plan B I'd take notes on his setup. I think the "lowly" hotcam is what keeps his car so "usable". I chose a CC503 cam, which is just a little bigger. (Mine is not an LT1, but a L98 in the process of a heads/cam/hsr intake swap) Many people overcam their engine and the powerband ends up so high that it feels weak on the street. I think that is the most important part. I've noticed most guys in the C4 world stay fairly mild with cam and head intake port size and I think that is why their cars run so well on the street compared to listening to many camaro guys who put huge heads/cam packages in complain that their car gets smoked by a turbo 4cyl in a stoplight race. Let us know which way you decide to go and keep us updated on the progress!!
