My thoughts are very similar, with the exception of the heads and LIM. The new 3.0s have 1 oval port per cylinder rather than 2 circular ones. Of course I have no evidence to what actually flows better, but I know of at least one race motor with its intake ports 'siamesed' for better flow. Just thoughts. Mid-to-top end power is also my cup of tea.
Oh, and I mention the 3.0 heads because it's less prep, plus the 10:1 compression is fine, because I would plan on adding +/- 50 shot of nitrous as well. 11+:1 would not be fun for long.
