The problem with all of this is that you're just a catastrophic douchebag. Even when you're right, nobody wants to listen to a single word you have to say.

Tone it down.

Can we get past the grandstanding and get to the issue of "cam only, 400+rwhp, 5.3L" combinations.

I'm not being a smart ***, I sincerely want to know what I need to do in order to achieve such numbers, besides using a dyno that is located at the bottom of a mine shaft.

P.S. I've been wrenching on cars for over 30 years and playing with LS engines since 2002.

I am not saying it isn't doable but it won't be easy. 370 from a L33.

Flat top 5.3, CNC ported heads (no larger than a 61.15cc truck chamber), large enough cam (23x/23x with a .600-.615 lift on no more than a 113 LSA), no less than a TBSS intake, 1 7/8" long tubes, VERY stable valvetrain, and something good to tune with.

~400whp with an M6.

People seem to neglect the fact that a flat top 5.3 with 243/799 heads isn't far off CFM capability wise as an LS1 with stock heads. A setup capable of putting a stock headed LS1 into 400whp will work similarly with a properly setup 5.3 with ~300 more RPM. The problem is, those flat top pistons are fairly critical for this goal. A low compression dished 5.3 is going to make it harder. Stock 706/862 heads are going to make it difficult. You can't

"You can't expect to make 400whp with that 'stock LM7' mentality everyone has these days".

4.8 with LS3 heads? I doubt it. The valves would hit the cylinder walls. LS3 only works on 4" or larger bore.
