if i had to hazard a guess..with FULL bolt-ons, your looking at 370whp.

oh, well this just wont do then! does anyone know of a cam that with full bolt ons will give me around 400 at the wheels? i dont really wanna go as big as a Trex, maybe an F13 would get me there? how is the driveability?

ive seen an f13 on a local car do 398 with true duals, LSX78mm, ported TB, etc. Stock heads. Was tuned with HP tuners by Gomer...pretty sweet job..esp on shitty 1998 heads.

First do boltons then do cam, otherwise if you want to stay stock and just add a cam, there is 2 possibilities, LS6 cam or CheaTR cam.
But first bolt ons.
