Building a L92 headed LS2/LQ9 on E85...Need GOOD input.
Background info: I've got a 92 Chevrolet SCSB. I've having trouble deciding what to do. Its going to be a least 6.0L with L92 heads. This will be a daily driven/raced 
truck ~ 400 miles a week. I would love to **** off those cocky SRT-10 guys who have nothing better to do than to **** with me.
Bottom end: Im kicking around a longer stroke 4.000 or less (oil consumption) with long rods and matching pistons. 11.25 ish CR Possibly milling the heads and running E85 (higher octane....cheaper and becoming more readily available) From what I understand the L92 truck intake makes more torque than the L76 intake. But knowing that trucks don't have a lot of weight over the rear tires, should I sacrifice bottom end torque for some upper end HP?
Cam: Im open to cam suggestions. Im thinking right now 224/228 600/600 on a 112 ish. Where ya at Patrick G??
So what do you think and why?

The l76/l92 intake/heads like a bigger exhaust bias when it comes to your cam selection. you might want to do some researching over on LS1tech.com under rick@synergy I think they did a test when a 408 had the l92 combo with a 230/246 or something of the sort and it was very streetable with good numbers.

well are you planing on do the track racing are just street racing if you are planing on the street racing you can get up a little bottom but not alot and just put some tires that hook 11.25 is not hard to get no way the heads l92 i personly love them and a good choice and i like the cam i would go with a 114 +2 and to me it would be a perfect motor
this is just my opinion

Sorry that I haven't replied. I've been over on the Tech site watching other threads. I'm trying to find out what piston and rod combination for a non-oil burning 408. Its going to be more of a street truck, occasionally to the track.
I'm going to go with the L76 intake. I have not bought anything yet, but am ready to.
