400 Rwhp?
Have a 2000 MN6 and have the following Mods planned;
MTI X1 cam 230/227 .591/.571 on a 112 LSA
under-drive pulley & valvetrain upgrades
LG Street LT's W/X-pipe & Hi-flow cats
B&B catback
Vararam CAI
Dyno tune
Will this produce 400 RWHP? If not how close would I be?
Thanks for the responses.

Might as well invest even on some decent heads and be up 20-50hp more. You'll need some good heads to get the most out of that cam or else you wont flow enough air to use it. On a budget?... Patriot LS6 heads are about $1500 a pair and for the money they perform reallly well. Good luck!

I have an MTI stealth cam 243 heads milled to 62cc combustion chambers, ls6intake, full exhaust and var ram with air bridge. I am making 403 at the wheels. If you plan on putting a cam in the car, a set of mildly milled 243 heads would be worth it, and would help bring that cam to life while still maintaining the drivability of the car. You can find some great deals on these heads on ebay.

243 heads are a must to get too 400 or over.
Plus some ported and polished 243s are not that expesive and you will need the light wt valves and better springs for the life that cam needs

If you have a little more to spend, I would look into some ported and polished LS6 heads like PRC sells. I think the go for around $1000.
