Default Ls2 450 rwhp

Hey fellas I'm new to this forum and have a question for you guys. Im putting an LS2 into a 67 camaro and was wondering what it would to get an LS2 out of a 06 GTO into a 450 RWHP car/engine. I just watched this video and was not to impressed the the GTO that was racing. I sure as hell don't want a little Mustang GT to be wippin my 67. If anyone has any suggestion or a link to threads that talk about this could you let me know. Thanks guys!

Even at 450rwhp, there will be GTs that will wipe the floor with you, but I digress.

Some nice heads (ported stockers or aftermarket) a cam in the 230s and a FAST intake will get you there for sure.

A few guys have even made 500whp naturally aspirated with just a cam and bolt ons.

My buddy's car is a good case in point: When he was cam/fast only he made 445 rwhp. Then onto some high dollar Mast heads and a bigger cam he made 500 rwhp. This is through a M6 with stock gears as well

Be careful with minimal mod big rwhp #'s while maintaining good driveability as these things do not always talk to each other.
A good cam, head, header car will hit your 450 RWHP goals if it's a stick car. Of course a better intake and ported throttle body will help.

This is a car we did a few years back. It's has our smallest 1C"stealth camshaft", 1-7/8" header with a L92 head swap. This one was build intending a blower. Even this build for the future combo made 433RWHP and DRIVES LIKE STOCK! A stock short block all motor combo would be better with a 1-3/4"-1-7/8" step header our LS stage 2 camshaft on stage 3 cathederals or our L92 stage 2 on a set of L92's
