Ls1 to Ls6 Advantage?

I have been debating back & forth to figure out what parts to install to boost performance..

I live in CA, so as we all know, I have to deal with emissions.
I am thinking Converting my LS1 to an LS6?

Would these parts convert my lS1 to an LS6?
LS6 Intake Manifold
Ls6 Heads
Ls6 Cam
If so, Including the rest of the parts I have:
Magnaflow Cat-Back
DMH Cut-Out
SLP Lid
+ a Dyno Tune, What numbers will I be able to put down RWHP?
Would these parts & a tune make my engine 405RWHP+?

And cats. Not happening.

You'll make 405 at the flywheel. Contact Patrick G for an emissions friendly cam to eek out a few more horsepower.

Most full bolt on Z06's dyno around 380-390rwhp. I think I've seen 395rwhp before but that was with an electric water pump as well. As said before, It would be better to buy a budget head like Patriot Performance ported LS6's for $1200 and get a good cam to pass smog like Thunder Racing's V.3.
