If we take this question as it is written the answer is yes but you wouldn't want to drive it on the street.

Before you guys all jump on me read his question again. He said nothing about headers, nothing about a FAST intake, nothing about bigger injectors, nothing about a UD pulley, etc, etc, etc. To build a car you would want to drive on the street at that power level it is going to take more than just a set of heads and a cam.

I don't see why not. I am running the Thunder Racing TRak cam in my c6 ls2 and it put down 450hp/407tq. Mods are..Kooks 1 7/8headers with cats, u/d pulley, vararam, formato ported intake. Still running stock cat-back. Plus I drive the car everyday and its really a breez to drive. Geoff at Thunder did and excellent job with drivability tuning. I am sure with heads and fast intake my car would be in the 475-495 range and still have good drivability. On my camaro's adding heads never changed the drivability much.

There have been multiple (streetable) H/C LS1 stock bottom end cars that have hit 500rwhp. The LS2 should have no problem doing so.
