Question Trying to get some power

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum. I was looking to get 425-450whp out of the LS1 once it goes into the RX7. So far I have planned: 90/90 intake, longtubes, full exhuast, stage 2 porting, balanced crank, larger injectors, upgraded valvetrain hardware(springs, etc). The cam is what I am having a hard time deciding on. I was thinking of a 228/228-114LSA-any other suggestions for a road racer? In addition, would an aftermarket harmonic dampener be worth the expense. If so, which would you recommend? Any other ideas outside forced induction. Any appropriate links or insightful responses would be helpful . I tried looking at some signatures to get an idea. anyways, thanks!

I would go with a larger cam like the futural f13 and would get ported ls6 heads and do all of the bolt ons it should get you about 420-430 then get the lsx 90/90 set up and you should be very close to your 450

Comp XE-R 234/238 .598"/.605" 111+2 LSA. Will make sweet power up top and will have a real strong midrange.
