Default LS1 + LS6 Heads and Intake = ?? HP ?? Also Best Head/Cam combo?

Just wondering how much HP you could expect from a LS1 with LS6 Heads and Intake?


Also whats the best Head/Cam combo? I heard someone say there was just a head cam combo that turns a LS1 to 450 HP???

The most common off-shelf H/C combo I see is TSP's MS3/5.3 stg 2.5 package, which has time after time delivered 450rwhp on an M6 car.

Swapping LS6 heads/intake onto a stock 98-00 LS1 (with LS1 intake) will net near 25rwhp, couple people have done it on here before and gained around that much, and sometimes more.

OK what are you looking for DD, weekend warrior, exactly what it is that you want the combo for.

Secondly what HP are you trying to attain. Are you looking for an NA car or are you going to add some type of forced induction in the future.

Are you looking for something like AFR heads or 243 heads.

What engine size is it going into.

M6 or A4

What exhaust do you have or are planning to get.

What type of gas is readily available 91 octane or 93

How much compression are you looking to make.

This is a small sample of the questions you should ask your self when choosing a H/C package just to say which is best for any price range you will get as many answers as there is odds of winning the lottery.
