You made 540 rwhp with just a cam and supporting mods? That would be 600+ hp at the crank.

Heads and intake have been dyno proven to be a waste of money for the hp you receive, but at the point your at now the 26-50 hp you MIGHT receive for a couple grand, go for it I guess....

I was thinking the same, most only get 450-480 ... That 540 is big numbers ...

Heads, VMAX TB, Ported Intake or LSX intake, electric water pump, some might say under-drive pulley but I am not a fan.

Then take a look into aluminum/carbon fiber drive shaft, gears, suspension. Doing these will get the HP to the wheels more efficiently thus more HP to the wheels.

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.
I can't wait for my next

If he's getting 437 to the wheels a reasonable assumption at the crank would be more like 500 not 540

This thread smells of

I would look into after market heads. We carry some nice ported LS3 heads with big flow numbers. Check out our engine section.
