Default LS1 525 HP heads and cam package??

What do you guys think of this package? Anyone running this? Can you really get 525 hp out of an ls1 with just heads and a cam? I'm assuming that larger injectors, long tubes & a tune of some sort would be necessary. Let me know. Thanks.

Cant go wrong with AFR heads, It should make 525 flywheel horsepower no problem. Youll for sure need injectors, tune, and headers.

Yes with all the supporting mods but that rating is FLYWHEEL hp so you have to subtract 15- 18 percent for driveline loss to get rwhp #'s.

There are better cams for those heads though like a VX4/5 especially if you are chasing peak numbers......And MANY others....

I'd like to run these heads with the raptor cam from thunder racing. Anyone know where I can get these heads cheaper?

Even 525 crank isnt bad for that setup.
