Who has the most power NA..
I am wanting to stay NA as previous car was SC and it was great but really want a NA car to track and have fun with. Right now I am a little over 450 hp and 460 torque. Intake is next as I am working with 2 separate manufacturers to get the best results. I have not done Cam/heads yet, as if I do that I might as well build a 416. Lets see some numbers and mods to get it there.

true, but it gets in the ballpark. Same as SC guys posting their numbers, its all relative. Really looking to see what combinations seem to work well together. I already have a Ported Tbody, E85 Flex, longtubes- no cats tuned with HP Tuners software. Intake will be a big improvement as I am pulling 4lbs of vacuum on the stock intake, it cant flow enough..

should be right there, yes. ported manifold and TB won't hurt, might bump to 490-495. if you are inquiring about my failure to mention a tune, YES, you need a tune but that is a given, IMO. I tuned my car on the way home from taking delivery.
i put down 440 with only tune, ported intake/tb. need to get a minute to get back on the dyno with long tubes and CAI on E85.

Nope, I knew you meant a tune also (ya is given), I was just curious like the OP the numbers that could be achieved with bolts-ons and E85/tune before going into cams/headwork etc. Crazy how much power can be made on these Merican N/A's with just bolt-ons. Not used to it but it's awesome.

What would be your guesstimate for what I've pulled together so far:
Afe CAI
Corsa double helix straight tube
Borla Atak axle back
ARH mid-length headers w/high-flow cats
Trying to get the header install scheduled now. I am not running a tune...yet.
ported intake seems like the next step besides a tune?

Post up some final numbers when it's complete.

If you want the intake and TB ported BER will take care of you for $450 including FREE shipping back to you. Check out our LS3 and LS7 results. Porting expertise is just that and we have proven ours again and again. In fact this will be the first C7 other than my new coupe so I will do $399 including shipping just to start the real world results in the C7 market.

NA you can make really good power with head and cams. My car had long tube headers, intake and tune. Once I did the Head/Cam I picked up another 85 whp and it makes the car pull like a banshee up top.
Head and Cam is the way to go, and it sounds wicked as well. I went with Texas Speed VVT II.
It is an expensive proposition though a lot of labor.
Porting the intake manifold is probably something I would do next.

Guess I was pretty close.... :-) Go from E60 to E85 and you are there. 475-480.

E85 right now is 1.89 where I live. Available right from the pump like water from the fountain.
Leave the race fuel to the spec racing classes. E85 is where it's at right now.
