Alright, first question- Can I make 350rwhp with these mods:
-CAI
-Longtubes, X pipe, 2.5" Piping all the way through, no cats
-Ported TB
-Afr cleanup/tune
It's a 01 motor so it has the ls6 intake manifold already.
Next question- Upgrading the valve-train on a car with a stock cam.
Reason being is that i'm going to be doing some more road racing this year, and I know the stock valve train will not be up to the task. This engine will see 6000-6100 RPM's MAX on the road course. Normally it'll be between 5600-5800 RPM's. So what should I do? Slap some comp 918's and call it a day? PRC Duals with titanium retainers? (Those fit stock heads right?) Stock or hardened pushrods?
Thanks alot guys!

From the looks of his sig i'd say he had the pulley, full exhaust, and ram-air. Anyone's opinion on the whole valvetrain setup though? What about the pushrods?
