If you go with a conservative tune, even with meth and headers you wont hit 550 on a stock LS1. With a cam or risk more timing to take advantage of the meth and you can get close. But, a stock LS1 on 10 pounds is plenty fun. My 2 cents and I've been wrong before.

Car did pretty good.We tuned it till no KR was present but then valve float came in.The red graph is early in the runs and the blue is the last but I let off at 5500 because the run before floated the valves.This is also on pump gas with no meth because for some reason the meth setup wasn't working.
