Wow really those sound more like cam only numbers I would be disapointed with a cam that big and aftermarket heads, more info on set up needed???

It's a stalled automatic with 3.42 gearing...it's not exactly going to be a dyno queen.

And 430ish is more like an LS2 with manual transmission in terms of 'cam only' power levels, not stalled LS1s.

I'll give you 430 tops but your tranny and restrictive stock intake isn't going to help. Don't get caught up in the size of a cam. Its not always about the biggest cam but the parts that are put together for a well working combination.

I would look into a different cam choice. The heads arent the best on the market but are ok if you arent trying to break the head/cam top dyno numbers or something. Check out our polluter cam on the link below, with those heads and the polluter you could see 430-450rwhp range.

+1 for the above three. I would probably expect slightly more with a m6 with a stronger clutch, but thats about it, talk about a new lid, and a badass tune you'll be right around 430 from my experience..

if it was up to me i'd save a little more money and do a t56 swap and cam only and be just below 430 and have a stronger car. I'm sure everyone here can agree that the 4l60e is not capable of much without one hell of a build.
just my 2cents.
Im more of a t56 guy.
