The PO made 410 rwhp on a '99 FRC with this combo on the stock LS1 short block (until he broke a piston ring land at the track);
Callaway Honker CAI
LS6 MAF
ported LS6 throttle body
LS6 intake
stock 243/799 (non Z06) heads with .040 Cometic MLS head gasket
226/230 .598"/.608" 113+2 camshaft
fully upgraded valve train with trunion kit
LG Pro LT headers and X-pipe (ceramic coated)
Z06 Ti exhaust
160 degree thermostat
tuned for 93 octane
You would need to trim the ignition map a couple degrees to work with 91 octane.
