600/600 is tough to do with an auto trans N/A. More cubes would help and I would look into the larger ET heads like 245-s and raising the compression, sheet metal intake and maybe a solid roller cam setup.

I also would ask Mike Kleman @ Rapid >sponsor. He almost stricly builds big cube N/A motors and just did a 6-700 N/A motor for a kid around here in a c5.

I like the reccomendation for the ETP heads as well. What are the specs on your old cam?
