Nitrous outlet plate kit will cost about the same. Have you thought/considered that? 150 wil do nice with a little plug reading. 250 if you don't have Squirlnutz lol

the tune and exhaust can help hide the cam potential .mite try a EPS cam,they put a small EPS cam in a ls6 crate motor and made 430 rwhp.

I would say 25-30 rwhp or more with an optimized setup. Brian really knows his stuff and has a great track record to prove it.

port the heads ,and use a ls6 intake .consider a ls383 or a 6.0 with a very mild cam.figure out what parts you want to work with ,that will fit your budget .get the cam last.
