Default YAY!!! Another H/C suggestion thread!!!

I apologize in advance if threads like this are getting old, but just be happy knowing that you're helping a fellow enthusiast love his car even more

I've been doing some research and reading other suggestion threads to try to figure out what to get, but there are so many different applications, and I have no hands on experience, so I come seeking suggestions. Info on the car:

1998 M6
Strange 12 bolt w/ 4.11 gears
315/30/18 drag radials
Stock intake (Probably upgrading along with H/C)
Stock headers (Also most likely upgrading)
3.5" custom catback exhaust.

I'd be happy with over 400 HP, and would be thrilled if I could get close to 450. The car is NOT daily driven, but I don't want a big cam, probably something medium or a lil bit more.

I don't necessarily have a set budget, but I'm not looking to drop a **** ton of money on a H/C setup. And I guess it's worth mentioning that I'm not necessarily looking for somebody to simply tell me, "hey, just go buy these heads and this cam, that's what I have, and I like them". I'm hoping somebody with enough technical knowledge and experience will chime in and suggest something that will work well with my setup.

I'm not sure what I would do without your input.

Find used parts that's the best way to get more power without going broke, bc I know some of us can't afford to buy a Texas speed shortblock, some tony mamo ported afr heads and a fast 102 intake....just pound the classifieds every hour or so and you will find good solid parts to get you between 400-450 whp....good luck bro

If you aren't looking to break the bank I would recommend you take a look at our stg 2.5 LS6 heads/cam package paired up with our torquer v.3 camshaft. This package will yield a very notable power pick up while not suffering huge drivability losses because the came is not that large. It will give a nice choppy idle but with tuning shouldn't have any problems daily driving if needed. Feel free to give us a call or shoot me a PM if you have any other questions.
