you will need lsx/ls6 intake

if you are talking wheel hp

g5x3
g5x2
Trex

if you are talking brakehp, just about any cam will get you there

you may have mis read, the LS6 intake gives 10-15rwhp over the ls1 intake, and the LSx gives 7-10 over the LS6.

the gains can grow with more mods. for you, it may be better to jump to the lsx vs me who has an LS6 intake stock. you gain ~25rwhp over you ls1, while i would only gain 7-10 over my ls6

Ye you need to at least upgrade to the LS6. The more mods the more gains you'll get from it.

An LSX or LS6 intake might only make a few more hp on a strictly bolt-on car, but the bigger the cam you put in the car, the more difference the intake is going to make. If you want 420 rwhp with a cam only application, you'll need every single bolt-on made, plus hope that God is listening when you pray right before putting your car on the rollers.

you want 420 rwhp cam only, and you have 4.10's? you'd better go with the trex, but it'll be a bitch to drive everyday. you might want to rethink your goals alittle.

A friend of mine drives a TRex on his daily driver (M6).
He seems pretty happy with it. It's all in the tuning.

is this thread about intakes or is it about cams ? you seem to be all over the place. i'd suggest you do your research first.
