Default need advice to make 500rwhp on 6.0 lfa

morning gents,

i just got my hands on on a 6.0 lfa with 10000 miles. it was making some sort of noise ( possible lifter failed on the dod stuff)- (i did not hear the noise, it came to me in a crate).
i ripped the motor apart yesterday- everything looks pretty good.
i plan on porting the heads and using a good size cam.- looking to make 500 wheel and then add a power adder. its a manual trans car.


im using the factor bottom end. with arp bolts. and i might open the gap on the top ring.-

looking for suggestions on cam and valve train. i will have the heads disassemble this week some time to clean them up. does anyone know if the valves in this motor are any good?

so please input ,

thanx

500rwhp can be done, but let me say its gonna be somewhat costly, and driveability may or may not be ideal.

Ported LS6 heads, milled for max compression, Big cam, flycut pistons, full supporting mods

Tsunami cam has been proven to make the 500rwhp

i want to go with a big cam, still be able to drive it. if that makes sense.
as far as flycuting the pistons, they already have reliefs.

i have lg longtubes, ls6 manifold, and upgraded injectors. my car made 420 the way it sits right now. and its cam only.

yea youre def going to need several things.

a better intake, bigger cam, and aftermarket heads would certainly help you get to that point without having to sacrifice even more streetability.
