Yup, port the manifold and you will probably be closer to 550 depending on the dyno of your choice.

uh........what do you want the car to do? there are millions of combos you could build on a given budget OR a given purpose...we need to know what YOU want the CAR to do.

i suggest you search around the site a little more, specifically in the Dyno results section. you might be able to find the info you're looking for.

The smaller cammed ls7 will put out around 525rwhp, the larger cammed beasts w/ higher comp. and good quench are making 560-590rwhp. These are stock engines w/ headers/cam/mild-headwork. This is using a stock LS7 intake/t-body. The #s are repeatable all day long. I saw one make 511rwhp w/ the stock 211/230 .588 cam and milled heads
