Default Opinions please

With an LS1 camaro, I would be looknig for anywhere from 450rwhp - 525rwhp w/ close equal torque numbers. I would probably shell out the $3,000 to get the SLP/AFR heads and cam package that will increase output to 525 at the crank, but then after that I don't know what to do. Would it be a wiser idea to do a full exhaust after that and maybe 1 or 2 intake components or would it be better to just add a 75 or 100 shot of nitrous and not to worry about the exhaust or intake? Nitrous Outleet has a Total Package for the LS1 which costs $1,244 and comes with pretty much everything you can dream of for a nitrous set-up so it al cheaper than getting a full exhaust, but it is added stress on the engine. What do you guys think?

I would do the exhaust 1 7/8 -2" headers and y-pipe and an intake and throttle body. That way you'll have all the power on tap all the time without having to worry about and nitrous issues.

if your gonna be shooting nitrous a lot, most people would want to build up their bottom end with forged parts before something grenades... other people have no issues, it just depends on how trigger happy the individual is...

I personally would build up everything before nitrous, but I just don't like nitrous either...

I'd do...

Intake
Exhaust
Cam
Heads

in that order and then see where you are at...

X2 on the Intake/Exhaust - Cam - Heads in that order.

I wouldn't even risk running that much power(Head/Cam) through my intake and exhaust with ALL STOCK parts. Might as well replace them first.

exhaust/intake, heads/cam(all supporting mods, ported ls6 oil pump, new chain, ect ect) and 75-100 hit of nitrous and you would be sitting pretty
