Might be better off asking in a C6 section. To me that sounds like alot of torque. usually on these engines you have more HP then torque unless your are running FI..

without F/I, you're not going to have that kind of torque. It doesn't matter though. You can achieve your goals or get close with the right heads, cam, intake combo.

My friend just added a cam and headers to his 08 C6 auto and made 460rwhp, so that's about 540 at the fly.

We have worked on many LS3 Corvettes and have achieved over 500 RWHP with an air intake, LG Pro Long Tube Headers, U/D pulley, and our G6X3 cam. I have this setup in my personal daily driver car, and I have 510 RWHP with 482 RWTQ. (I have also had my heads shaved to bump up the compression)

Please feel free to give us a call and we will be glad to discuss your options.
