I would much rather drive a 350Rwhp car around that got stock gas mileage, idled like stock, etc etc etc... Then whenever I wanted I could make 400/450/475/500/550Rwhp with the flip of a switch.

It is all preference. If you want a lot of power with stock driving manners, FI is your only route. Any cam/head combo that makes 450Rwhp is going to drastically be different than a stock car. Whether an M6 or an A4. My best friend has a 224 cam AFR head combo that makes a tad over 450Rwhp, it is VERY tame but still is nowhere near stock manners (truly stock). Nitrous would keep EVERY aspect of being stock, a blower or snail would be next, then H/C would be last.

My last setup was a H/C setup (very tame) that ran good... Then I installed nitrous.. My new setup will be with a D1. I'm sure down the road I will have a turbo setup. I am not biased at all. Call it how you see it.

Add some spray for good measure and replace that weak rearend. I'd also do subframe connectors, lca's, and lowering springs but that's just me



There are a few different ways you can get there but thats pretty much what I did on my LS6 and got it to 431.31rwhp (motor only, no bottle). I will be adding a little shot of the giggle gas to it this summer.

P.S. My car is a good weather DD and with my setup I am getting about 27-28 mpg on the highway if I go the speed limit.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamomet...-414-rwhp.html - put a set of LTs & the rest of the bolt on's on this car and you'd see 425rwhp - stock 02 Z06 cam

Cheatr cam video. I wouldnt think there's a aftermarket cam in this car.

215/230 .60X .60X 117.5LSA LSL intake EPS exhaust

could've probably went with the EPS 218 intake but wanted to be on the safe side for my drivability needs.
