How much power would i be looking at? Ive seen tones of threads on heads and cams making power, but i gotta ask for my set-up. What numbers would i be looking at with a healthy NA cam, full LT, ORXP, Dumps, Vara ram and a NicD Tune....
Any intelligent guesses?
Its a 2001 C5 Vett. Im thinking it will be enough power to have fun (break tires loose, tail slide around corners) Sound really good. And still be reliable. Here is the thing, my last v6 mustang ended up getting a 04 cobra motor, ported pullied, TB, CAI, Full exhaust. Gears. And so many other things i dont even wanna think about. I have that well if im gonna do this, i might as well do this attitude. So with this car, i wanna control myself. I didnt buy the car to break records. Or even really race. Just something with tq, that looks good, sounds good, and is fun to drive. So what do you guys think? I have my list and im promising to stick to it.
Now what kinda numbers will i be looking at? 370 at the wheels?

What is a "healthy NA cam" to you? you could see damn near 370 with those mods plus a hot cam. a 232/232 would get you close to if not over 400 and then if you want to go crazy, say MS4, you might get 430 out of it.

A healthy cam to me would be something that is pushing the limits of being a big cam, yet still retains street manners. I dont mind a crazy idle, but having no power till 4k is not what im looking at. I wanna make power from 3-6k. Also kinda wanting than thumpy idle.
And just making it clear i wanna keep the stock ls1 heads and ls6 intake.
