Is it time to raise the B.S. flag?
Is it time to raise the B.S. flag? Is it possible to attain 484rwhp from JUST the usual bolt ons(full exhaust, air lid), and heads and cam package? Someone told me he has 484rwhp from just all that and I think thats 
no matter how radical or big the heads may be, but then again I can wrong, thats why I ask.
Edit: I was told that he went with the SLP heads and cam package. I am not 100% sure about this though. And the car is a LS1 Camaro SS, 02 I think.

It's possible, but unlikely. There are some 346's doing over 500rwhp with heads/cam, but they are very radical cams.
edit: after i saw YOUR edit, I'm gonna call BS on that. I haven't seen great numbers from the SLP package, much less 485rwhp. He'd need something like a upper 230's - 240 duration cam with some good heads to make that.

Youd probably need EVERY SINGLE bolton imaginable right down to low voltage turn signals and high flow windshield washer fluid pump. 
But really, youd probably need a perfectly matched intake/exhaust/heads/cam setup with a lot of luck. Or you could probably do a solid roller cam and hit that mark pretty easily.

No, its not possible IMO, unless you go with a ridiculously huge solid roller cam and everything that goes with it.
I'm assuming thats a 5.7L motor? If its a 6.0L then its possible.
He got the 485hp package from SLP. I remember this package from a long *** time ago. It is no where near the 485 that they claim. I dont think it would even make 400rwhp. I dont even think SLP sells this package anymore.
Just ask him the specs on his cam we can tell you the rest.

This is the link to a 400hp set up from SLP. Max it could make is 330-350rwhp.

At 15% that would mean that it would have to make 415RWHP
If i remember right the specs on that cam are 218/220 112lsa. (I have not seen the specs in a long time so dont hold me to those specs.) But with all bolt on it could make it there in a 6 speed, 3.42 gears, AL drive shaft, and some light weight wheels.
