Default Spending tax money..

Well Im trying to decide which route to go. I want it to be NA, no forced induction or nitrous down the road. Its a nice day car, and sees plenty of street duty. I am looking heavily into:

TR230 cam
TSP 5.3 heads
FAST 92/92 intake

Basically, what can I expect for street manners.. Can I still putz around at 1100 rpm in 5th and 6th cruising? Should easily make over 400 at the rear wheels? Just some questions and which route to start buying up parts for. Another question is a LS7 clutch going to do alright if I get to 420-430 rwhp?

Personally i would hold off a couple of months on that fast 90/90 or 92/92. I'd wait until weiand puts out there new intake. Most likely it will be cheaper and also outperform the 90/90

first off they (fast) dont make a 90/90 anymore, and I really would hold off thinkin that its (weind) gunna be better than a fully ported fast 92/92 intake, especially at 6k + rpm. In any case, those mods you listed should definatly have some serious get up and go overwhat you have now. I dont think it will be that much different on the street, especially since its M6, and your not thrwin in a big converter to match the H/C combo. And idk about clutches.. id assume itd be fine thoo.
