Headers, cam, cold air, tune should be good for another 100 to 120.
That gives me at best 240 horsepower more for 666 horsepower. A little short of my goal, want 750 at the crank. Am I being to conservative on my estimates or just going in the wrong direction. 
Besides the above, what I need to know:
1- is the LS3 block safe at 427 cubic inches making 700 + horsepower.
2- Can I get the 660 horsepower with the mods that I mentioned?
3- How can I get to 725 + HP naturally aspirated and still be street driveable.

You guys have been great, but the above questions and responses would make an awesome thread. LOL.
Yes, I am trying to convince you to help me.

Honestly with the money you're putting into that engine you might save $$ by getting a ZL1 and adding headers and a cam.
