Kinda of wierd I've seen quite a few full bolt on cam only LS1's put down 400RWHP, and many H/C/I LS1's in the 450 to 480 range. Do some searching.

460-480 rwhp isn't easy but very attainable. you need to do your research, the horsepower is in the details and it will cost some $$. I would say your best bet is an after market head like AFR or TFS, remember with heads its not all about lift flow numbers. Your gonna need a ported FAST 92/92. I would say get some good headers like ARH, QTP, KOOKS also. as for a cam I would say just get a custom cam through Patrick G, it barely costs anymore than an off the shelf cam. GOOD luck man, hang out in the dyno section and see what it takes to put down the power your after, just remember dyno's aren't the most consistent thing to base horsepower off of.

ok one more thing, I have been researching H/C/I packages for a year now and still I'm not quite decided so my advice is, take your time and do the research. talk to professionals, patrick g and predator z are very helpful guys on the board.
