What kind of vehicle is this engine going in, and how much does it weigh? For a light weight vehicle, you can go a bit wilder on the cam, and considering that's it carb'd, I wouldn't hesitate to tighten up the LSA to something like a 110. Then match the converter to the cam. If you do decide on the TR220, which, as mentioned, has proven itself awesome in the 5.3, I'd get it on a 112 with a 3000-3200 converter, just my .02

My '68 GMC short/step is running a 6.0 w/L92 heads and a GMPP dual plane LSX/LS3 intake with a 223/231 @ .050 on 112LSA and about a 2200 stall on a 200-4r w/3.73 12 bolt posi. Haven't run it at the track tho but hope to start in the 13's with a target of 12's, and drive it home.
guessing at 3800 race weight? anybody care to guess at 1/8 or 1/4 mi et?
