More parts more $$

youd be better off with a LS6 intake and ported TB, theyre proven to a 1000hp, and would have some cash to spare,

Spend that money on a good Fi cam or some 317's to lower the compression ratio. longrange4u had a baby cam and 317's w/ his STS CETA and hit 607 hp @ 9 PSI. (Stock bottom end at that time)

no doubt

you can get a decent set of 317's from some one on here or look for LS1 parts on ebay, i think i saw a set for like 300 or something. and the LS6 w/ ported TB is proven and will save you a ton of $$$ over the FAST set up

317 is the casting number on the low compression 6.0 liter truck heads you can get them used (sometimes new) in the Sale section for 300- 400 bucks. TRT I think sells a new set w/ patroit duel valve springs (good for .650 lift) for alittle over $600
