Yes if you include nitrous as a bolt on, otherwise you are dreaming.

I have the above mentioned bolt-on and the LS6 cam. I'm over 500hp. It's easy.

it's hard to make 500 rw with a huge cam and hogged out heads,as orange said over 400-425 would still be on the high side.

I make 370hp with stock heads. I just don't know how much heads would help this cam. 30 hp is lot to ask.

If you have stock '99 heads and you put on AFR 205's milled a little, I think you'd be right around 390 to 400 pretty easy

Forced induction, nitrous, or no.
