Default Next mods for 450whp goal?

I have a 2001 Camaro b4c Z28 A4 128k miles. Mods already on the car are,SLP Lid,1 7/8 full length headers, 3'' ORY, 3'' to a 80 series flow master. I have a few questions to ask. I'm looking for a n/a goal of 450fwhp and around 400whp. is this possible with stock 241 heads? what head/cam/stall combo should i go with for street strip application? Its at the track every friday night. i also have 3500$ to spend and also already have a full dry nos setup but not installed .waiting on a frost tune first. any and all suggestions would be great ty guys

get a 3500+ stall converter .you could have your heads ported and rebuilt ,or buy some ported heads .you don't need a big cam to make great power if you have good flowing heads .check out vengeance racing ,or Texas speed for head/cam combos.don't tune it if you are swapping in new parts .

i was planning on a revmaxx 3600 converter,a ms3 cam/springs/pushrods. there a better combo to get my that hp range? i chose the ms3 cam because i read it was a good cam n/a and it loves the n20 lol with a frost mail order tune will i be able to run 150 shot?

Do not get a mail order tune unless u need it to drive to get it dyno tuned. Thats about all mail order tunes are good for. Get a Dyno Tune!!

MS3 will make the power friend made 409rwhp with L/T's and Cam only thru a M6

No problem with that, just get a wideband and check plugs often until you get dialed in. But when u go in quarters for a HP Tuner and buy a mail order tune you don't have much left if any at all to just get a good dyno tune

No two cars are exactly the same, it may be close but it will never be perfect.

241 heads with a LS6 intake will get you your 400rwhp goal. U may be fine with stock intake as my friend did, but to easily get there I would get at least a LS6 Intake
