450 would be on the high end to expect from this id say. but with a 6 speed car it may be close to reachable

I didn't see anything about long tube headers (or a CAI). They'd be necessary to have a chance at that 450. After that plan on a clutch at minimum to hold the power. Stubs, axles and drive shaft would also be on my short list.

no matter what you go with DD or not id still want it to be streetable.

The GMM won't add any horse power but it will make sure you get the right gear when you need it. Some of the best money I spent on my car.

I've spent almost double that to make the car solid and reliable as well and maybe I'm near mid 400s. If I'd spent more on heads I could have made more HP but wouldn't have the drive train (clutch, GMM, drive shaft, axle stubs, wider wheels, 3.91 gears) and full suspension.

You'll definitely make 450 hp with that outlined setup in a M6, assuming your tuner is good.

If you plan on boosting later, you should definitely factor that into your current build. For example, shooting for 450+rwhp now (naturally aspirated) will require a cam that probably wouldn't pair well with FI later. Do you plan on starting over with a new build when you go FI?

Very true, both your choice on heads (compression)and cam need to be made with FI in mind later or you will be rebuying parts.
