06 GTO upgrade advise thinking of going with the SLP LT's with downpipes with high flow cats, and the SLP X crossover loudmouth . looking for suggestions on a cam, still streetable, and some roller rockers. Car is stock now. Also need info on what size the air intake is and the throttlebody. Should I have it ported or put on a fast 90 setup?
Wanted to get the LS2 up to around 500 rwhp. All suggestions welcome.

To get to that level you are going to need some good heads and a fairly aggressive cam. As to the stock intake or the fast 90, there has been some debate over that. some say that once the LS2 is ported it can reach the same level as the fast. To get to that level though, you would have to have the fast ported anyway. 500 rwhp is not easy to get to but it can be done. I don't think you woulod need the roller rockers, some stock rebuids from harland shop should be plenty. Hope this helps.

someone already suggested LS2GTO.com, there are a ton of LS2 cam posts over there from the various sponsors, personally I am leaning towards the F14 from Futral Motorsports here, but there are a lot of choices out there.

go to this site www.ls1sounds.com
go to the true duals on the left hand side, there you can see and hear , sound or video of cars with different exhaust setups.
the dynomax bullets and the sweet thunders are awesome sound.

A cam and headers will sound BAD *** but will make less power than a simple dry nitrous system. Adding a simple $500.00 NOS Dry Nitrous kit to your stock car will save you lots of money in the long run.
SLP makes some cool performance packs also.
