G5X3 cam, Pulley, Callaway Honker CAI, Longtubes (catless x-pipe), Corsa Indy exhaust, and a tune. You should have no problem with an mn6. Probably over 400rwhp.

MS3 $400 LS6 heads $900, hooker headers $600 Prices are generous..... but you'll get there for under 2 grand, not including the clutch you'll burn $1200, rear end you'll break $2400 and hours spent on the install.

So far I've got tpis longtubes, Vararam ram-air, b&b exhaust, and off road x-pipe. What should I do next? Not really looking to do a cam quite yet. What would you guys reccomend? By the way this would need to be a daily driven setup. Can this # be achieved with stock heads?

Add ported ls6's, a nice cam like a g5x2 and ls6 intake. Basically what you have and what i listed is what got me the numbers in sig.

Would it be worth the time, money, and effort to upgrade to a LS6 intake or should I save for the fast LSx intake?

LS6 intake would do if all you want is 400 at the rear. You can get with stock heads. But you do need a cam. Your choice how big and a good tune. Good luck and have fun.

You can get there with headers, exhaust system, Z06 intake if your car is 2000 or older and a cam with 230 duration and .595 lift..and a set of good heads and you will be in the 440-450 range

I made 399rwhp in my old FRC, it was a vararam, LG motorsports pro long tube(prototypes with V band flanges) headers, modified STOCK H pipe, LS6 intake, MSd wires, and a mild cam with dual valve springs. 588 lift. And tuned by diablosport.

No other mods. Car had 100+ thousand miles. Stock mufflers.

Also, we made 398rwhp on an 02 Z06, I put on a fast intake(90), lg pro long tubes, cats, and b&B bullets. and a diablo tune.

Will stock springs work with the G5X3 cam on LS6 heads? Stock pushrods okay too?
I would like to hit 400 RWHP with my conversion. If this cam will do it with what I have listed I should be looking hard at this cam.

Your gonna need DUAL valve springs,...and NEW pushrods. "KITS" should be available for decent prices. I had everything for sale, for cheap, brand new but, just sold it to pastvertical last week.

pushrods
retainers
locks/keepers(or you could use stock ones)
DUAL valve springs
camshaft
..your choice on replaceing the CHAIN. I would.

Do all those things man...you'll probably make 410++ easily to the wheels.

Don't forget about the tune. Strongly recommend long tubes and a vararam with the camshaft.

Your car will be SICK,..and it'll RIP. Not the fastest car in the world but,..very friggin fast next to alot of car.

I raced, and WHIPPED *** on a DIABLO from a 25mph roll starting behind him, and passing him at 170mph with a 220lb passenger with that 400rwhp combo.

A very cheap, sleek, supercar crusher.

Never seen the diablo again after that.
