Default LS1 Any more H.P. ?

Okay guys I think I'm maxxed out on power and was wondering if anyone had any more ideas. The car is a 2002 Camaro. Installed parts are long tubes with Borla exhaust (has electic cutout), SI6 cam (235-240/.643-.609 on 111 plus 1) with underdrive pulley, FAST 102 intake and Nick Williams T.B. , AFR 1530 heads, Fast toys 98 lid (k&n filter), and 36 lb. injectors. Car made 452 rwhp and 401rwtq.. I'm pretty sure what the answers are going to be but I thought I would throw the question out there anyway. Thanks for the input.

Send those AFR's off to Tony Mamo. If there is anyone in this world that will find you more power, it's him.

What do those heads flow right now?

You could run a meth kit and crank up the timing on your tune. With that you can probably add up to 5 degrees of timing max. 4 to be safe. Theoretically you could potentially add about 40 crank HP to your numbers. You're looking at about 30 RWHP potentially. This all assumes outside air temps are in the warmish range.

Other than that you can have the heads redone to add some more compression ratio. Higher octane fuel or combination with the meth kit could allow you to make a better number.

For me....my hair dryers give me all the power I need. To each his own.

Without cubes/rpm, you could optimize induction/valvetrain events and dynamic compression ratio for what you actually have... assuming the cam was not speced for what you have. You could also look into lighter drivetrain parts.

port the heads more or get a custom cam .Martin from Tick has been doing some high HP cams that look great.
