Send those 243s to TEA and consider a FAST intake you should hit your goal.
Plenty of great cam vendors here...EPS,TICK,CAM MOTION, ETC.

It may or may not make 450 hp on the dyno, but regardless of that it should be a strong setup! Before my nitrous I ran NGK TR6's as well

You aren't making 450 rwhp with the LS6 intake and unported 243s even through the 10 bolt. My LS1 setup made 475/430rw and it had AI heads, AI cam, and Fast 92/92. If your set on using the TR5 plugs you are probably going to have to change the gap a little. The should be at .039 out of the box. TR55 are .059 out of the box.

Whose the tuner? I was in J-ville for 5 years.
