You can get to that power but the street manners will be compromised and look at spending some cash on nice heads and ported FAST intake and TB along with all the supporting mods.

And a 475 ,if this is a daily driver, you're going to have a hard time getting the power to the ground. But gettig 475 or so shouldn't be a problem if you're willing to live with the cam.

This is for sale in the C5 Parts. With a nice cam you may hit your goals.

Have just done that , Ls6 AFR 205 heads, ported, ported TB, and Fast intake, along with cam ( ordered from Tony) gr8 guy to deal with AFR will take at least 8 weeks to ship you the heads. also get the upgraded springs. ,, had Kooks headers coated to control heat, 3" exhaust,

Using a SPEC3+ clutch and aluminium flywheel. Upgraded rods compstar and forged pistons . You should strongly consider using shaft mount rockers. as you do get some valve deflection at above about 6300 rpm. am doing that in few weeks, and numbers with tuning done by Alan Futral in Baton Rouge on a very hot and humid day in August. got near the numbers you want

you may want to give Alan a call for cam suggestions as he thought mine was bit mild and could have gotten somewhat better numbers with a bigger cam

Only issue is that there is little engine braking with the light rotating mass and there is some issue with idling had to put a 2 step idle to prevent engine dying when you let off the throttle quickly .

What are you planning to do with the car,

Drive to amityville long island and go see carmen at the vette doctors.

Tell him what you want to achieve as a final result and he will make it happen for you.

They did my H/C package and I love it. It is not the HP level you are looking at, but it works for me.

G5X3 with AFR heads and SD Tune. ECS did all the work and the drivability is great.

I'm running a set of the new TrickFlow heads and am quite pleased with the numbers. If you're willing to run a bigger cam than I am you should certainly be able to hit 475rwhp SAE. Even with the moderate sized cam that's in my car now I may see 475 with some cooler air this fall. It was around 94 when my car did 467/412.
