I ended up with a **** load of low end torque without milling and a smaller cam dynos are tuning tools that all there is to it. I finally get to take it to the track today in about 3 hours I can't wait. I still have a ls6 intake.
My old set up put down 452 rwhp and 402 rwtq threw a 12 bolt with 4.33 gears
-that was the same cam on a 110 centerline and a set of factory 241 heads worked over with bigger valves and decked 30 along with a Mamo ported Fast 90. It should make 450rwhp or better

While that 224/228 cam is the one Tony used to make 500rwhp, why don't you go a bit bigger (since you currently are running a very similar 224/224 cam)? Even with the heads milled to 62cc and a .040 gasket, PTV should be large enough to allow a cam with more potential. Even a 228/228 would have perfect manners with a decent tune.

You have all the parts minus the cam of the Patrick G 500rwhp 347. So if you get the right cam you should be there. Worth the little extra for the custom cam looking at that pile of money in the picture. My guess is in the range of 4K.

The PRC 5.3 2.5 for $1100.00 a pair are hard to beet made 430/391 with the below set up on motor. Just the heads made 50 HP and 40 TQ!
seriously gaskets,bolts etc?? 
There are 3 magic ingredients in Tony Mamo's recipe:
1. The little details taken into account when he builds an engine.
2. The hand porting he does to a FAST intake.
3. The hand porting he does to the AFR heads.
Unless your having Tony build your engine, you cant take advantage of #1,
You already have your FAST mamofied!
I'd recommend sending your heads in for the same finish touch before installing them.
I had Tony port my AFR 205 heads 2 years ago, I gained 11 rwhp and 11 rwtq top end, but gained 25 rwhp under the curve!
