Default Need input on next...final mods (yeah right)

Mods in sig = 418 fwhp.

last mods were lt headers & x pipe. big disappointment for the $$'s but maybe I now need some mods to complement to unrestricted exhaust.

Here's what I'm thinking: at this point LS1 edit with some tuning wouldn't hurt.

Before that I'm thinking bigger throttle body & LS6 intake...would that get me to 450 fwhp?

maybe with some LS1 edit tuning?

the next and final (hey, hey) mods would be heads & cam to end up at about 550 fwhp.

does this sound right, logical????

respect and need your input :yesnod:

450FWHP is about 405RWHP. You would need a heads/cam package and ls6 intake to reach that.
