+1 what he said. I'm no expert as I will tell anyone but I do read alot and have heard alot. But I don't think you need to get the the 1 7/8 headers that's to big on a stock motor. Now if you get a bigger cubic inch motor maybe 380+ cubes then that will be okay. An when you say you want 450rwhp, did you mean 450hp at the crank or 450hp at the rear wheels. IMO if your going to be putting down 450rwhp that's going to be hard, you will have to have a very good if not perfect and matching setup and as far as streetable I don't think it will be as user friendly. But what's streetable for you may not be streetable for me. An since you are a M6 you will need to get 4.10 gears to help out with that cam 23*/23*.

thru a six speed it shouldnt be to hard actually ... get urself a cam of your choice most people go in the 230's range i personally like the torqer v2 or the f13 cam do some 2.5 ls6 heads with bolt ons and u should be there if u on a budget do an ls6 intake if not a fast 92 setup..

for the best driveability....spend your money on GOOD heads. that way you can go smaller on the cam and still make the money.
big cam + budget heads = 450rwhp and less street friendly
mild cam + great heads = 450rwhp and near stock manners.
AFR 205s, TFS 215s or TSP 215 (prc i think)
TSP 228R or maybe the "el torro"
if funds allow you can put a ported FAST on it....

Stock bottom end? If so, Advanced Induction CNC 243's. I think pretty good for the money. They have new cores, or will do customer supplied. Dean

i would buy used pacesetter LT's,3" ory,cut out, ls6 intake ported tb,and then if funds allow you to #243's and a medium cam 23x-23x
if you have 2k for tfs or afr or prc's i wouldn't buy them with that stock t56 and stock 10 bolt 6 speed's and 10 bolts are not the best of friends

IMO I think the 10 bolt will hold up as long as you don't dump the clutch and as long as you don't hook really good. But if you 400+rwhp and you hook good it not going to last long. You can all venegance racing, afr or tsp to get them to help make you a choice on the head and cam combo.
