Default HAVE I PUT TOGETHER A GOOD STREET COMBO??

I started with a 454 bored 40 over. Put a Lunati Sledge Hammer forged crank with 4inch stroke but requires a connecting rod 6.385" long. So I installed a set of Manley "H"beam forged rods that length. On the end of those is a set of KB Icon forged flat pistons with 1 valve relief, that is supposed to get me 10:1 compression. I covered those up with a set of aluminum Edelbrock heads. Those come with 100cc combustion chambers, 290cc intake runners, 110cc exhaust runners, 2.190in intake valves, 1.880 exhaust valves. I topped them off with a set of Comp Ultra Gold Roller Rockers with Comp push rods to match. Sitting between them is an Edelbrock Airgap intake with a holy 750 double pumper sittin on the top. This engine combo is chased by an upgraded 700r4 tranny. Transfering the power to the ground is a 373 posi 10bolt which I'm thinkin is gonna be the next weak link but ill change it when it grenades. I am chasing a good street combo that will make my '85 z28 come alive. Tell me your opinions do you think this is a good upgrade from my 383?
