Default 425rwph possible with stock cam ?

Just curious for future mod setups on my 2004 Z06 ""**KEEPING THE STOCK CAM**""

I have 390rwhp now with :
Vararam B2 with K&N
Air coupler
LG headers with cats
B&B Bullets
Dyno tuned at LG's

My web page with mod listings... http://mysite.verizon.net/res0aae8/webpage.html

If I put on the following could I get 425rwhp?
Shanner TB (port matched to stock intake)
Under drive pulley
160 thermostat (Is this ok to do in Texas heat?)(coolent additive good to use ? Water Wetter?)
AFR heads (LG's) milled to 11 to 1. (Will milling to 11 to 1 help me in this situation ?)
Dyno tuned at LG's (his shop is just around the corver from me )

1.) Do you guys think the above could get me to 425rwhp ?
2.) Dangers in doing any of the above?

Thanks for your input

out of curiousity, why are you intent on keeping the stock cam? It is definitely possible to attain 425rwhp with the stock cam, but I dont see why you would want to. You are going to spend over 2 grand on afr heads, spend the time changing out the underdrive pulley, and not change the cam? If you are at 390rwhp now, a moderate cam and an underdrive pulley would get you there for a lot less money than you are planning on spending.
