Awesome!
What class will you be running it in? What is the current record at?
if you think you need to make any changes in the cam department, I will swap you out for free. Good luck on your build.
Lavon, I had the same thoughts, but decided on leaving the bad thoughts out of the thread. Oh well, I will hope for the best?
Beautiful. Although I predict your 12v rods failing if you make the power it looks like your capable of.

Why?
12v Rods have held up just fine for everyone except the Factory RPM CR crowd.

The last CR engine we pulled only had 800 miles on it since it had been built by previous shop, it had Shot peened polished and balance rods from Haisleys and 3 of the rods were bent and that was all done with a Smarty, single stage 3 pump, S466/87/.9 t4 turbo and flux 4s. Here's what the rods look like.
This is a 6.7 which is a torque monster and with his turbo setup having capabilities of 100psi I don't see the rods loving life at all unless he's planning on making all his power above 4000rpm. It could stay together but Im guessing the rods will have some distortion if it makes 1000HP.
And I'm by no means discrediting the OP and his build, just sharing my experience/opinion. I understand a budget.
Why?
How many RPM will you be planning on? With those rods, just spin it and stay out of the torque. 12v Rods have held up just fine for everyone except the Factory RPM CR crowd.

Agreed.. Land speed cars pack thousands of pounds of lead into the car. Weight is free downforce.Also, I did a run on a dry lake bed, and could spin the tires at 100mph at will.....I would put as many thousands of pounds as you can in the bed of that truck as you can, 6000lb or 8000lb will be about the same top speed after 5 miles of flooring it, but traction will be crazy different.
