Heads/Cam insight.
I have been wanting to do heads and cam for a while now and finally found a good reputable shop. The parts that the shop have picked out based on budget and my driving habits are:
BTR Stage 3 N/A cam 231/242 .617"/.592" 112+2
Ported Stock 241 Heads
Ported LS6 Intake
.660" Lift Platinum Spring Kit with Titanium Retainers
And ofcourse all the gaskets and other misc items that will be needed.
I was hoping to achieve somewhere around 420-450 rwhp, i was just wondering if you all think this would be possible and if not where should i make changes to get to that amount of power. Mods already on car are ported and polished Throttle Body and full exhaust. Last time it was on a dyno was to get tuned and put down 340/360. Thank you for your time.

Not too shabby i suppose, anyone else got any insight or ideas on making more power that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, nad yes ive searched the forums many times. Does anyone have any results of that cam? Ive seen people use the 2 and 4 but searched around and no luck.

Just remember this will not be enough. You will love it at first and them you will need more RWHP
That combo should work well
if you are even contemplating a supercharger be careful with what cam you choose

I plan to go fi down the road in the form of a turbo or 2 
but that will all come in time and will be built for it, ive gained alot of useful knowledge from this forum and hope to keep expanding it as the years of corvette ownership continue. Has anyone used this specific cam and have and complaints or anything they'd like to say about it before i pull the trigger?

If it was me I'd be looking for a set of 243's at the minimum. Also who does the head porting is going to determine if you meet your goal. As far as the ported ls6 intake it's not worth the money. Either leave the ls6 stock or step up to a FAST intake. Just my .02

Heads are going to be ported by a shop here in town, and the intake only 60 bucks for porting (pays to have friends I suppose), I've been looking in the local area for a set of 243s and can't seem to find any. Again this is a budget based project. Currently deployed and looking at being deployed again in 7 months so might put this on hold for a bit.
