Default New Member with a few questions regarding an LS1

Ok, first things first. I have been using LS1Tech for advice since I bought my first car, an 89 IROC about 4 years ago. This car is still not finished, but it was considered for an LS swap. But since then I have owned a 1996 WS6 that was one of 32 hardtop cars in red with a grey interior and a six speed. This car has since been replaced with a 1998 WS6 with a 6 speed and a mildly built engine with a race clutch and some suspension mods. It is currently putting down between 380 and 400 to the wheels. I'm wondering, will a wilder cam and valvesprings, with an E85 tune get me over 450 to the wheels? It has a very mild cam in it ("Truck Cam") and I would probably put about 580-600 of lift with about a 113 LSA

A cam alone isn't going to get you 450 wheel. You'll likely need a few things to help it along.

I do have an LS6 intake, which I plan to port slightly to fit an 85 mm TB on it, and I have headers and heads already. Should a wilder cam and E85 with injectors not get me close to 60 horse all together?
