Well that is a good start. One thing you want to keep in mind in drivability. Also reliability if you get a high lift cam you will need some good valve springs and retainers. Look on ls1tech.com and go from there. You could get 450 wheel horsepower on a mild set up.

You may want PM Garry . Ibelieve he has the setup you may want to copy or closely copy that should be pretty good for power and yet won't get you into much trouble with the authorities.

Look at Texas-Speed.com. They have head and cam packages that are proven to put you over the 400rwhp mark. Cheap too. They will tune your computer also. They are just a little slow on the shipping so you have to stay on top of them. Good luck with the build.

You might have to adjust your priorities (and I do not mean "towards your wife").
