Default Is 475-500 RWHP possible with this?

Here is what I have so far:
6.0L iron block (LQ4), stock w/katech rod bolts
Edelbrock victor jr F.I. intake
Wilson 4 bbl throttle body
Accel Gen7 DFI
meziere EWP

Is I possible to make 475-500 RWHP with this stuff and a good head/cam package? With all the new heads out or on the way I am really confused

All this is going into the 88 IROC! It has a RMVB 700, 9" rear w/4.11's.

Let me know what you guys think about a head cam package.!!! I was thinking of going ETP 225, a bit pricey-How about a stage III LS6???

Yeah it can be done, choose your heads, 11.5 SCR minimum and spec a custom cam to feed it all.

Who do you guys recommend to set up a combination. I don't want to pick a bunch of parts myself and end up with a mismatched combo-like my last motor!
Thanks
Dave

slp has a good h/c package for that motor, depending on how aggressive a cam you want.. i believe they sell the afr 205s or 225s and a cam like with specs in the 330s with 580 some lift at 112.. not exact on the specs but lmperformance.com has the specs.. and its what they use on their 6.0 stroker packages (the 383s and 402) so its definately works on the motor.. i know they tested them on their 402 with afrs and the big cam with only an ls6 manifold to make about 550 hp..

The only thing close is Eastside performance (that I know of anyway). I would like to find a shop that can recommend a package and then dyno it for me.

id buy the ET's if they were in my budget. its hard to pay twice the price, but when you can get 20hp, every lil bit counts, IMO.
