Default SLP Cylinder-Head-and-Cam Package?

The SLP Cylinder-Head-and-Cam Package 1997-04 LS6 500 HP sounds like a pretty good deal and for someone who doesn't have to worry about smog I don't have to breaking any laws buy putting it on my car. But is it worth it, are there better deals/options?

Here a link: http://www.slponline.com/view_product.asp?P=12411

Any input would be great, thanks in advance!

I'm looking for about 450-500rwhp, don't know if that's asking too much becasue I want to stay N/A and below $4500 would be nice. Idle quality isn't that much of a concern and like I said before it's going to be in a 69 so smog is not a concern either; Bring on the huge cam!

you can get those numbers out of a 346 but you start pushing your powerband peakier and peakier with the bigger duration cams needed to achieve those numbers. what RPM range are you looking at?

That's a lofty goal for stock discplacement.

Big cam + Stage 2.5 heads.

I'm aware that the higher my hp get the less I will make at lower rpm, with a huge cam; but I see it as a give take realtionship if the cam doesn't make power until 5000rpm but when it get there it makes a crap load of it I'll think about it. This is not a daily driver. I'm just trying to gauge wether i'll need to convert to solid lifters and what not. I know I'll have to do a major overhaul on rods springs and rockers with a high lift cam. I just wanna get an idea of what kinda power a head and cam combo can make.

Edit: I'd also like to know what kind of compression would have with these new ported heads ( on a stock bottom end).

Wait till the AFR 225's come out. Match a cam to them. You'll be happy. You can stay hydraulic.
