with the time and cost of doing a head and cam swap. id say all that work for just stock heads and a stock cam is a waste of time....

there are many cams out there that will net much more power with the same character. so do some more research.....

maybe S2 LS1 heads with an 11.1 CR and a 224/224 .575/.575 116 should net around
415rwhp with an LS6 intake and a good tune! so how does 485HP sound?

good luck!

Bah! Just get the SLP H/C combo for too much money. Then you will for sure be at 485!

Honestly tho,

Get a differnt cam, and some milled heads and you will see the 400 mark on the horizon for sure!

For what you will pay I agree with the guys above. You need to just get a good set of stage 1 heads, from TEA or PRC. Cam wise, run a 224/.580 114. You will see much more power for the same dollar.
