Default Looking for some big results!

My 2000 M6 coupe went in yesterday for some major work...and I am hoping to get some big results. Right now I have a vararam, B&B shorties w/ bullets, and a bassani x-pipe. This is what is getting done:

ETP 215 heads (supposedly in transit as we read)
custom cam by Ed Curtis (specs are confidential i guess)
QTP Tri-Y headers w/ random tech cats and x-pipe
SLP UD pulley
SLP ls6 intake
#30 injectors
double-roller timing chain
RAM HD clutch w/ new flywheel
hotchkis sways
elite tunnel plate
DTE Strut
MSD wires
couple of other little things....

I will be having some shorties and an x-pipe to sell! Should be on the dyno by next week...I am hoping to be in the 470-480 rwhp range. Will keep posted to see how everything pans out.

I'd say 460rwhp max, but your likely to be in the 440 rwhp range.

425-440 my guess depending on the cam... have them put 4:10 in while its there the gears will help with a big cam

I thought about that, but I am going to hold off just because I think I will have enough traction issues already but who knows...

I agree. I'm waiting on these heads myself and would be interested to know your results. Funny Ed didn't give you the specs @ .050", I've seen people post EDC cam specs before. Anyway A&A did 470/425 with a Fast set-up and a mild 230ish cam and I just saw a post where the Vette Doctors made 487/425 with cam specs unknown. I think you'll make 450-460 without a Fast set-up if your cam is mildy aggressive.
