Default what kind of power?

What kind of power can the ls6 heads and intake produce before they are maxed out?

i think you would be hard pressed to hit 500rwhp with the ls6 intake...no matter what porting is done to the heads.

but for comparison...Kraest got 417rwhp with a big cam on stock LS6 heads and intake in his vette. figure a few more rwhp on an fbody drivetrain.

not sure you'd get much more by going bigger on the cam.

although supposedly thunder got 451rwhp out of the TRex when it first came out...not sure if that was ls6 heads or not.

but i dont' think anyone has duplicated that performance...

What if we made 474rwhp in a vette with a small cam, AR Headers with cats, and the stock LS6 intake? We used good parts for this and with a little more agressive cam 500rwhp should be in reach.
