The vrx5 is 236/238 .601/.605 113+2, for anyone curious.

With some good springs and a healthy handful of rpms, 450 at the wheels should be doable. Might need some cut-outs in that 2.5" exhaust to get you there, but the rest of the setup looks good.

Obviously it will depend on the dyno but my buddy made 445 rwhp in his cammed M6 06 GTO. This was with a Fast 92 and a Torquer 2 cam

But you know even if if doesn't make 450 rwhp it really doesn't matter. As long as you get a good tune the number on the dyno is what it is, and what it traps at the track will be all that truly matters
