I would have to agree that for sure your goals will be attainable by freshening your combo, then sticking the AFR 195's on it. Would be the cheapest since you already have the cam. Maybe go up a hair on your converter stall.

But, you know you can't take your eyes off that 400+ cuber sitting there waiting to catapult the 'vette down the strip. A hair more cam, a hair more converter stall, and a miniram. Blow your goals out of the water!

I have the 230/236 cam and a HSR intake and AFR 195's and am running about the same times as you. I know my car is heavier, and gearing is hurting me a little, and it is a flat tappet cam and isn't dialed in yet but even then the gap between us won't be that much. I almost wish I'd have done the 219 cam.....

Either way, let us know what you decide!

U planning on doing this rebuild this year, or is this a winter project?
