You'll probably need headers, exhaust, intake, pulley and a few other modifications to get 450 at the wheels with just heads and cam unless you have a C6.
What do you drive?

As for 440 with just headers and a cam, that was probably a Z06.
Its doable to get those kind of numbers with a H/C setup. But you will haev to dip into some high dollar heads and a pretty big cam to pull it off. Gonna need a clutch, headers, awesome tune, and like he said a few things. At this point if you are spending this much money might as well change the pistons and rods to hold the shot as well. I think IN DEBT jsut did his setup on his Z06 and came close to that numebr with LG Headers and a LG Cam (cannot remember which one) with a few other things. That was on stock LS6 heads if I am not mistaken.

You also need a host of other parts to make it work.

One thing to think about is how many miles are on the motor ? Add HP with H/C and then sticky tires and then nos something will break. I did it and one pass of Nos after H/C and I spun a bearing on a motor with 15,000 miles. Some people never have a problem but be ready. 
I never have had a rear end break though.

I got 451rwhp with a cam only (plus all the normal bolt-ons).
That's on a Z06 (LS6 heads) and a TRex cam.
Without drag radials I don't have to worry about breaking the rear end, it spins first.

I went with the AFR 205s, Comp 224 581 114 (great street cam), LG's Lts and tuning finally made 430RWHP. Just bought the T body and 90mm Intake......we'll see what happens.
Slowhawk: I thought the same, but decided the H/C were more practical for building in stages ($$$) and better street manners (blower cars can be hell on radials) just my .02
8 grand for a blower (install and tuning) or 4500 (out the door) for H/C
