Default 425 rwhp?

Um, NO. you'll need more than bolt ons to get that much power to the ground. you could do it with a shot of nitrous and those mods, or with those heads and a huge cam with one kick *** tune and that might get you there

The reality is that its not going to happen unless you spray or tear into the motor. No way around it.

With the mods in my signature, I'm barely making 400 to the ground. Thru high-flow bullet cats and Borla exhaust/muffler. A4 w/ Yank SS3600.

ok, get the heads ported/polished... say stage 2 or so, and get at least a 224/224 cam probably slightly bigger and you will be close. You already have good exhaust, and 425 to the wheels is ABSOLUTELY doalbe on a stock shortblock with a good set of heads and cams... Will need a good tune though...

Just get a bigger cam. 23x/23x 112 / 114 cam with LS6 heads (even stock LS6 castings) will net you right around 420-425rwhp, with the stock 10-bolt. You're going to need a clutch, by the way.

Then you can replace your stock tranny, and rearend. That's too much horsepower for stock internals and driveline ... living on borrowed time. Put money into your foundation before you build your house.

You aren't going to get the torque number you want without more displacement, forced induction, or nitrous.

You might be able to get 390-400 rwhp with stock LS6 heads and the 2002+ LS6 cam and full bolt on's. That's still a big might.

With stock LS6 heads and a 224 cam you will probably go over 400 rwhp, and possibly over 400 rwtq.

no way that torque number is happening on stock cubes/naturally aspirated (a few heads and cam packages broke into the 430s). Most cars making 425 rwhp make 380-410 rwtq. The reason is because most of the hp comes at higher rpms when the hp is higher than the torque. However, the Z06 heads and cam with a tune MIGHT be enough for 11s. A bigger cam (and possibly heads) would make 11s only a matter of traction.
