was that intake lid or intake, lid. If just a lid then get an LS6 intake, cam with proper valve train, headers, Y-pipe, and tune. easy 350+ hp

LS6 intake, headers and full exhuast will get you to 350, get a big enough cam and you'll jump up to 400 if you choose the right one.

if you want it loud, id say get some FLP headers and run them with-out there high flow cats, and then get an electric cut-out!!!! DAMN it will be LOUD!!!!

as far as power, after my headers, lid, cut-out (on-tuned) i put down 330rwhp
it took me a H/C package to hit 400rwhp.

that would be your best bet... that way you can get 400rwhp, with out running a real aggresive cam! just get a good set of ls1 stage 2 heads and a mild cam!


good luck.

full exhaust + baby cam +tune = EASY 350 rwhp

full exhaust + 230+ duration cam +good tune = AROUND 400 rwhp

full exhaust +baby cam +ported heads +tune = 400 rwhp easy

throw in an LS6 intake for more assurance, an ASP pulley for a little more insurance
