Default Guys need feedback, how to get 450rwh?

guys my goal is 450 rwh. I was wondering what all i need for that? I have a 2002 SS LE M6. Bolt on's are PTB, FTR,KAN,LId, ASP Pulley, Smooth bellow, SLP Center exhaust upgrade, Hust shifter,LCA, Spon TA. I have about 2400 to up grade. What should I buy? Be specific. Talked to TSP today. They told me to do heads/cam. PRC LS6 heads cnc, Magic stick 237/242 603/609 113. complete setup with headers was 2500.00 said it would give me between 420/450 rwh. Sound good?

You need to be specific on what you want out of it...

My best advice is to call one of our sponsors ---------------> (T.S.P. hint hint) they are more then helpful and will sell you the right combo to suite your needs.

He won't make 450 cam only at the wheels unless you have every single possible bolton, a t-rex, and the most outrageously badass race tune ever. The cam only record holder guy only puts like 440 to the wheels, and its through a 6 speed with a maxed out tune!

You can get 450 with a milder camshaft and a nice set of heads, plus it will make it more fun to drive.

Tornados show massive gains too! I've NEVER seen that kind of power made cam only without everything else possible. Maby if it was a z06 due to the 243 casting heads, but that is still a stretch.

I knew exactly what you were talking about the first time you posted. I have a hard time believing that graph especially since its using an LS6 intake. I know thunder is a respectful company, but this is in the real world is nearly unheard of. That car must be running a 10 bolt and stock tires/wheels. Most people will see 420-430 with a huge cam, boltons, a great tune, and consider themselves lucky.

If you could easily make 450rwhp with a cam only, then it would not be considered a near impossibility to hit 500rwhp with a 346" N/A motor.

450rwhp can be done with heads/cam and all the supporting bolt-ons, but good luck with only $2400 to spend. Get a set of headers, a wet 125-shot of nitrous and a tune and you are there for about $1200...

Get a nice set of heads and a cam. Just like everyone else says. I personally think that there are other ways to get great enjoyment out of the car other than just power. Lighten up the valvetrain, get a sick tune, and go for some heads and cam. Or just save up a little more money and do things right the first time
