New LS1 Owners - Newbie Tech - How much power can i make with bolt on and cam

So i'm gonna be buying an ls1 m6 car sometime this summer. I am curious how much power i can make with most of the bolt ons: new headers and back exhaust, ls6 intake, lid, maybe pullies. I would also do a cam and RR's and the supporting valvetrain. i'm also curious what size cam to use with the stock heads?

Couple things....1st, not to be a dick, but search and read the stickies. Shit is posted all over the place. Now then, quick run down.

Bolt ons and Cam can be 380-420, more or less, tune depending, how well your parts work together, ect ect. Research research research.

RRs aren't needed, but if you do, don't bother going higher ratio wise. Stock is 1.7s, most after market cams work well with that ratio, and with the aggressiveness of modern lobe designs, different ratios aren't preferred.

Cam, there are TONS of aftermarket, off the shelf cams, or you can do a custom grind. All depends on what you are building the car for. Again, research research research.

That's a good read that'll put you in the right direction.



And +1 to all the stuff AznMuscle said, lol.

this has been beaten around the bush like 40059509843 times, try a search as others have said.

my car with the mods in the sig is getting a mild cam since its a DD and should be making close to 400 to the wheels.

You can make 375 easy. An agreesive set up can net you 450rwhp. Depends on what you want.

Read the stickies. I know the search is not what is used to be but no excuse to avoid the stickies!

yeah i'm pretty new to everything on here thanks for the info everyone. I'll def search the threads.

i mad 420/390 with long tubes, lid, and ms4 cam. also still have ls1 intake

a true bolt on car which includes just headers, intake, exhaust, lid, ported tb, and a tune will net you about 350-360rwhp on an m6.

not to jack the thread but damn your car is sexxay. I think the norm for a bolt on / cam car is betwen 375-400 RWHP

That is fucking good numbers for ls1 intake. Nice man. And one sexy car.

bolt ons, including the FAST intake and meziere electric water pump (not everyone does those)...plus a moderate cam with older lobe design

results in the signature
