Ported LS6 heads and something similar to the F-13 cam will get you 430+ as long as you have the supporting mods done already (headers, intake, underdrive).

remember a big rear end, and an auto will definitely not put up big numbers!! so dont go crazy if you put down less compared to an M6. autos arent dyno queens anyways. any head and a cam in the low 230 duration would be able to get your the hp you want with all bolt ons and good tuning.

Great Setup, I would run it in any of my n/a builds that I was looking to keep stock bottom end and a great street car. One of my favorite all time cams.

All done cheap; $180 ebay headers, home built 3" ORY, $30 summit 3.5" cutout, 3.5" flowmaster merge, $300 fast 78, $180 professional products ported 85mm throttle body. Tuned by myself with hptuners. More power everywhere.
