Default what power levels with LS2or6 ported heads?
what power levels could you pull from a motor with long tubes a cold air intake and a 3" OR Y-pipe if you put on a set of LS2 or LS6 ported and polished heads? the reason i am asking is cause i got a kit from a guy who does this as a hobby(he is pretty good at it) and it came with the heads and a cam. i cant remember the specs off hand or if they are LS@ or LS^ heads but just in case what would the numbers be with both the cam is a decent size if that helps i need to find the specs but throw some #'s at me please.

Need the numbers on the cam and if the heads have been milled or not and what size gasket you plan on running

I put down 507 RWHP through a 12-bolt with 4.56 gears with CARTEK 4X ported LS6 heads. Fast 90/90 as well

right now i am trying to get in touch with the store where i bought them because i have lost or misplaced my spec sheets to them so im not too sure but if i remember the cam is around 600" lift with 1.7 roller rockers in the mix and 520 duration the lift with rockers is what the guy told me and he said the springs were rated to 650" and id be good with that. the heads look like there ported and polished only but i am no guru with this what would a milled head look like and what gasket size should i be running????
