You got a nice parts list there. Are you sure that cam will let you reach your goals?

I agree, why skimp on a $300 part that is integral to the performance characteristics of the engine?

Pretty sure an LS1 cam will get him to 550-600 without too much issue. I have seen LS6 cams go into the 900 range. I am sure it will be just fine. I am swapping my cam mainly for much loftier goals. Don't worry, if you can't hit 600 with the LS1 something else is wrong with the set up

thats what i was thinking too...hell, i made 488whp with a stock bottom end 302, ported E7 heads and an E303 cam on 15 psi and that was with a T70...and everyone knows that even ported E7 heads are garbage compared to stock 4.8 heads
