Default Trying something a little different

This is a little different setup than most people go with, so I figured I would ask your opinions. First off my car is a 98 auto, and it will probably never see track time. I just want a reliable streetable car with a little edge.
I already have some stage 3 cnc ported 243 heads. Im thinking about running them with a ls6 cam + bolt ons without a stall. Do you think its possible to reach 380 rwhp with this combo through an auto?
I figure if I ran the 243 heads with a larger good cam I will have to have at least a 3600 stall. I might make a little more power this way but not much more because of the stall. Since my car wont see track time and because I want to keep it real streetable I dont really want to go with a stall. What do you guys think?

Stage 3 is too much for a street only car.

Do you mean the heads will flow too much for that cam? The person I got the heads from was daily driving his car so I think they are streetable

Stage 3 typically means big ports & big valves. They tend to work best with big cams at high RPMs.

So if I sold the heads I currently have, could I reach 380rwhp through an auto with stock 243 z06 heads, 02-04 z06 ls6 cam + bolt ons???
