Default Will I hit 400 rwhp w/cam?

I have a 98 z28 m6. I want to know which cam, or at least how big of a cam i need to go to get 400rwhp and still keep my car a daily driver. Is this possible? Here are my current mods:

lid
ls6 intake
Jet Hot longtubes w/no cats
Y-PIPE
Corsa
K&N air filter
160 Stat
Ported TB
Cutout
all small free mods.

Also would it be worth the wait to save an extra $1500 and get the patriot heads at the same time?

I made 412 RWHP with a 231/237 .598/.595 112+2 and a mod list almost identical to yours. I don't drive my car every day, but I could easily if I had to (Speed Inc. tuning).

F13 from FMS and some tuning should do it. Save your money for some better heads, IMO. MTI 2E's look nice for the price, and not too much more than the Patriot.

You could also add an underdrive pulley, I noticed that you didnt list it anyways. Take Care.

I have close to the same mods as you but I have a pulley. I have the Futral F10 cam as you can see in my sig. I will be Dynoing at the end of the month to see if I can get 400RWHP. I'll let you know how I did. You will probably buy by then but I'll post up anyway.

How do you like those 4.10's in the rear with the 231/237? I have 3.42's and I'm considering 4.10's.

I dynoed the numbers in my sig with the following bolt-ons and a F15 cam.

Hooker Long Tubes
TSP True Duals
MTI Clear Lid
K&N Filter
4.10 Gears

I don't have any other HP mods. Those numbers were with a custom tune.

Are you running an auto? I should be at 375-380hp out of my f10 through a SS4000 if I can get a full run on the dyno. And thats with stock 98 heads.

Not to mention my car has never been a dyno queen. I think the F10 could make 400 though an M6 in the with the right set-up. With that cam on a 114 my dyno graph is wide and flat. Average HP, anyone?

If you made those number on an M6 you got a problem for sure. Check for clutch slippage, do a compression test, and make sure you installed the cam dot to dot, or possibly the qualifications of your tuner . Other than that you will need to seek some proffessional help, hehe.

Good luck with getting it worked out.
