Which cams, headers, exhaust and chip would you guys recommend to getting my beast up to 550-600hp?

Thanks

This would be a good start, i am getting a NOS kit installled on my 01 Z06. with a 150 shot you should be around 575-600 w/ cam, headers, 150 shot

FYI ls6 only has 1 cam and they don't use chips (custom tuning or dyno tune)

Good luck with every thing!

Thanks

1. Cam Id look at G5x3 or F13
2. Exhaust kooks headers or LG's *id keep the tit mufflers u will not see a gain worth the cost*
3. Corvettes dont get chips like moooostangs.. so you will need to get an LS1edit or Hptuners
4. You wil need heads to reach your goal.. you can get yours worked since 243's *ls6 casting number for heads* flow well.. or you can set up to AFR 205s.. prob want to up the Comp ratio some and have them milled.
5. Might also want to get CAI. they show great gains on vettes BlackWing, Haltach, V.Ram.. all are good choices.
6. Intake Man.. some people see great gains with a Fast 90/90 setup.

enjoy.

No runs as of yet, but going this spring to N.H. to run it. I expect to run a high 11 as confirmed on my G-Tech, but traction has been an issue in the past. I hope to get the new Nittos to hook. Hopefully, I will get a warm day and take her up for a run. Helmet I have, roll bars I have not lol! The G-tech has been trapping in the upper 120's. At the track we will see if I can get a few clean runs until I get kicked out.
