this is true..
although i dont buy into the ms3 isnt a good choice because it doesnt make power until blah blah blah.......
if your racing, your at WOT... which means your going to run all the way up until 6500rpms or whatever your shifting at.. other than that.. doesnt matter what rpms you make power or dont make power with...
that is the reason i recommended the torquer 2 or 3... both very good cams and a tad smaller than the ms3 ms4..
224 is a bit small for my taste.. i would go with at least a 230ish cam.. but thats just me.. and im no guru..

you can do heads and the cam can stay in the car... the intake will come off, along with headers dipstick valve covers power steering yada yada yada..

Ok..I swear my brain is melting from all this..I need some help like Whitney Houston on Crack..I plan on installing Cam/Heads/Intake/LT/X-Pipe or H, maybe going down to 3:73 (but 4:10's are too much fun!)..Anyway..I know Ls6 Intake is a must from a Ls1, New Oil Pump, Double Roller. etc etc..I know all that..I have been reading Patrick G's Cam Write-up, and been scrolling the boards reading about cam's and heads..I'm totally lost now..I know 243 are better than 241's, but i could get some cheap 241's port them and be good but i loose compression, i don't want a track car its only gonna a be a street killer thats all..Vr3, VR2, MS3, those camshafts are almost the same but whats the difference?,,What is the best street cam here?, Should i use 1.7 adjustable or 1.8 or non adjustable rockers?..PVC..What springs are good matched with a head and cam will a VR3, with 918's on a P&P 241 clear?..Need Mad Help..
..Thanks Guys
..Thanks Guys the only cams that that begins to start becoming a problem with are the ms4, polluter, trex.. then you have to use stock valves and shiznit..
you cant run regular 5.3 2.5s prc ls6 stg 2.5s...
you can use prc ls6 stg 1s and so on..
anything with stock valve sizes it will clear.

Car Craft has some good advice on what's needed to get at least 500 horses naturally aspirated. It's basic advice, leaving the ultimate build up to you. Just remember the things they suggest can be had for alot cheaper than summit racing sells them for.
Still it's good information for anyone to have.

According to Duttweiler, all it takes to make 500 hp is cylinder heads that flow 310 cfm or better along with a little more camshaft than stock.

Verdad Gallardo yes, it is easy to achieve 500 in an ls1... flywheel that is, not RWHP..
you could do that with a healthy cam, PRCls6 stg 1s, 90/90, and the usual bolt ons.. would be a lot cheaper than what he did..

Yeah most people usually talk RWHP on here so it's a safe assumption. You are absolutely correct on the other adders for 500 RWHP. The rest of the articles a good read too, but covers all kinds of engines.
Jeez I can't wait to get started on my car......wishing for 15k to pop in my lap....lol
