Default New to the LS world and forum!

Hey everyone, first I wanted to say hi and give a big thanks in advance to anyone that gives me a hand! I'm new to the LS scene and am very excited about starting my next project. Ill be building a 92 Nissan 240sx coupe with a aluminum LS6 from a 2001 corvette. I'm building a naturally aspirated motor in hopes of being near the 600hp mark. Picked up a long block for pretty cheap that needs a crank. I was hoping to keep my heads and just having a bunch of work done to them. Port matched to a fast intake ETC. Pretty much if you've done a ls6 build with around the same hp ratings let me know what you did. I'm all ears and am open to any suggestions. Thanks again!

Why is that so unrealistic? 383 rotating assembly, nasty head and can combo, port match heads to a FAST 102mm set up... The factory ratings on the LS6 is 405 so this doesn't seem to far out of reach? Also all the head work will be done by Glen Tredwell from The Muscle Shop in Lake County, Fl. He's been competitive in the Pro Stock game (NHRA) for a long time and is doing pretty awesome things at his shop.

I'm talking flywheel horsepower. Ill be running a Fairlady EED 6 speed from a Nissan 370z so my power losses should be less then a factory t56
