Default save me some time

I have a '98 C5. Cold air induction, Vera ram air duct. BBK Ls6 intake with the ported 80mm tb. comming out - long tube ceramic coated headers, x pipe, and magna flo cat backs. Also, dyna tuned to 339 rwhp. My question, if I didn't really want to mess with heads right now(except springs) what would be a good cam to get me close or over 400rwhp? I drive the car every day, even to get the mail so I want to keep that driveability. Car will never see a track. Am I dreaming without the heads?

Depends. Are you auto or manual?

I also forgot to mention, I'm not interested in top speed. Just lots of torque from 1500 to 6200.

forget the heads if your not making a track car.

Get a different stall converter and gears for that torque feeling
