Thumbs up Quest For 400whp - Next Up - BOLT ONS!
Like many of you, I'm hoping for 400whp Cam-Only.

Check out my signature for my mods and current horsepower figures.

I'm going to complete a whole host of bolt-ons (including a clutch) at one time, and then get the car re-tuned for them.

What Bolt-Ons do I need to plan for in order to reach my goal of 400whp, Cam only? Please be as complete as possible.

Ls6 intake, ported TB, pully. Whats the rest of your exhaust set up after you LT's? is it the stock catback?

I've got TSP True Duals with 18" bullets on backorder, 2.5 weeks and waiting...

Dyno numbers are with 12" bullets slid onto the headers and dumped.

Ls6 intake, ported TB, pully.
Those three alone aren't going to net me 18whp, do you think?

You'll hit the mark once you go with those duals, pulley, tb, and intake. IMO, that intake is probably the most important part of the puzzle with those high rpm cams.

The ls1 intake is choking your cam, I would expect 18hp just from the intake W/ that cam.

think about the big picture. on a stock motor, just add one of those and you'll barely see a difference. Add all three and each one may add more than it would by itself. Plus, put a cam (like yours) into that motor, and those 3 make even more of a difference.

And i also agree that intake should help you get there the most

  • LS6 Intake
  • Ported TB
  • Pulley (I'll likely be going with Powerbond)
Can anybody think of anything else?

Looks like you have everything else covered. Next up would probably be some heads and a rear

BTW, you'll probably want to get it retuned after the intake.

The next smart investment would be a 9" or 12-bolt rear. With your new found power & some good traction you might just blow the little 10-bolt.

I know it. The car won't see DR's until the rear is upgraded. Wanting to get the power first though.
