Default How does this setup sound?

I'm new to LS engines and would like some advice/feedback on this setup I am considering doing. I have been told I should be able to get somewhere around 560 crank hp by doing this. Also, how much $$ would you estimate this setup to run me if I were to get it built by a shop?

Stock LS6 bottom end
AirFlow Research Street heads
FAST LSX intake manifold
Comp Cams cam (undecided on specs as of yet, but needs to pass the California emissions)

Is there anything that you would do differently?

I also think I am going to do an Accusump Oil Accumulator as this will be seeing the track quite often.

What is not possible? That setup or that amount of power?

I'd like to get atleast 500 crank hp, and have been told I will be able to pass emissions as long as I don't get too agressive of a cam.

if you run that setup with a mamo cam, you can get through emissions and you will end up making around 430-450 rwhp. Thats around 500 at the fly

So this is a setup you would recommend and think will serve my purpose well? I need a nice curve too, not just silly peak hp.

Youre def not gonna make 550 flywheel and still pass cali emissions, you'd be lucky to pass emissions anywhere actually

Are you auto or m6?
