Well a magic stick four will get you over 400 alone... so yes, talk to texas speed and they will hook you up.

Of course. You could make that "cam only." Check Texas Speed, Thunder Racing, etc.

A mild cam with a set of cheap 243 or 799 heads should result in ~425 rwhp without losing driveability like you would with a bigger cam like a Magic Stick or TREX cam.

Here's the cam I'm using.

http://www.neweraperformanceparts.co...mart&Itemid=54

Find some ported LS6 heads in the classifieds, get a set of pasesetter LT's, ORY, and a nice catback for exhaust, get a lid, and all the valvetrain components for the cam, find a used LS6 intake, and that's your recipe for 425+rwhp with stockish drivability as long as you place it in the hands of a good tuner!

I just have to say, your car is beautiful and very tastefully modded. That is all.

H/C and boltons will get you that number easy on a DYNOJET.


but remember numbers arent everything. the shop i use uses a mustang dyno and their builds run hard but dont put outrageous numbers.

Thanks for all of the replies ill be taking the engine out in the next couple weeks to start it all. Also would it be worth porting, polishing and milling my stock heads?

alright, i have the slp lid and since its a 01 it has the ls6 intake already, so i just need to track down heads. then get the cam

that would be good for a bit then a nicer exhaust than my SLP

Do not forget the supporting valvetrain ! Hardened pushrods and springs. Might also want to consider Injectors.
Yeah it adds up quick doesn't it.
