I want to make peak power at 6200-6400 I was looking at the Virgina speed cams and speed inc, is there any other ones out there that are good. Trying to make 550-600 rwhp.

You could do a custom cam, but at this power level and with what you have, nothing special is really needed. I would look at the speed inc TU1. The TU1 is hard to beat for a turbo LS1. Sounds mean as hell to boot. There is a youtube video under "turbo chevelle".

Even the cam already in the engine will work just fine.

This cam will give the car a great sounding idle, plus it will give you a large increase in power. Bob

You should go to an LS6 intake. At that power level and with your desired peak power RPM, that victor is just hurting your throttle response and spool, not that it'll take much to spool that turbo. Then put an LS6 cam and springs and you're done.
