Operation super sleeper....
It's an a4 btw.
My plans:
High 220 duration cam on a 117 ish lsa
Stock 243/799 heads
Lid/bellow
Ls1/6 intake
Stock cat-back
Highflow cats
Stock manifolds
3000 stall
Shift kit
3.73 rear gears
I wouldn't go any larger than a 226/226 117lsa+4, since it still has a IVC of 46 and -8* overlap, ideally you'd want at least -10* O.L., and a earlier IVC.

Highflow cats wont do much for you, I'd opt for putting that money towards heads, its 5 HP vs 25+.

I'd highly recommend you have the heads milled and CNC ported, that way you can run a smaller cam with no or less I/E split, than you would need if you ran stock non-ported/SCR heads,or just flat-out make more power with the same size cam.
FYI, no one will be able to visually or audibly tell you have ported and milled heads; do it!

377 HP/367 TQ on a Mustang Dyno.
This was in a 2005 CTS-V, which has a parasitic driveline loss of about 20%. I am told the parasitic driveline in F-bodies is more like 15%. If that is true, it would translate to 394 HP/383 TQ. But, of course, you can draw you own conclusions.

But, make no mistake, power is easier to come by with headers. With that particular cam headers would not add a ton - maybe 10-15 horsepower. But with headers one would presumably run a slightly larger cam (even keeping the street drivability the same) which would likely pick up 25+ HP.
241 heads..GM MLS gaskets. Shift point is 6800 with dual springs and hollow
LS6 valves. IIRC Geoff markets this cam as the truck torque #2.
Darkman's suggestion of the 230 EX. lobe would also help with your manis
and the spray.
