heads and intake dyno
I like this path you took, Heads first!!! Now its easy. Small cam easy big hp!!! But i like the daily driver powerband, but you can see that cam gasping at 5500 rpm. Great sleeper.
Hey Chris,
I know I'm a little late to the party but glad your happy with the results. Had a great time helping you install the new parts on your car and tuning it for ya. The results sure surprised me!
Add a underdrive pulley and 1.85 rockers and you'll be knocking on 400 RWHP with a STOCK cam.

Man, I love this build, I jump in on all stock cam builds I can find. I'll suggest what I always do and intend to do myself:
Install an 03-04 LS6 + springs and retune.
Do this plus port the TB and I bet you see 400/400 right there.
This may mean you need injectors afterwards.
Frankly, I am not surprised at all. Imagine what a ported set of AFR205s and FAST combo would do!!
Not a budget setup but I am confident we can see 420/420 out of a "stock" cam on these cars with no hit to reliability or MPG. The right foot, however, may have something to say about the MPG... 
I digress - Do the later LS6 cam + springs (may or may not need pushords), port the TB, and put some 30lb injectors on there - retune - POOF - sleeper car with 400/400, and she'll idle and run like stock but rev higher. That route won't break the bank either. Diggin' your build!!
Plus, when the motor does **** the bed, find a low mileage LS2 shortblock, transfer everything, and now you got 420/420 on "stock" shortblock.

Verdad Gallardo the heads came with dual valve springs. and i put hardened pushrods in it also. i almost maxed the injectors the way it is now. so anymore mods and those will need to be changed. i went to the track 2 sat. ago and found out i need tranny rebuilt. it would not shift from 1st to 2nd with out a delay. sucks.
