Help me get 37 additional RWHP

I have a 2010 2SS M6 and I'm currently at 463 and I want to get to 500.

Considering the mods in my sig, what else can I do? I'm looking to add a FAST intake, which should give me an additional 15 +/- RHWP. (just a guess)

I definitely won't swap the cam out for a larger one and I really don't want to go into the heads, but if I have to go into the heads, I would.

Thoughts, ideas?

As always, thanks.

Mike

Heads would be your best bet bro.

I don't think the FAST IM can do the job. some even say that they don't work.

even with heads 500whp would be hard to achieve with the size of the cam you have. but doable. you would need a very good tune.

If you swap to a bigger cam like for example the LG cam, it would be very achievable.

LG made 530+whp on their Heads/Cam package. I believe it only had the G6X3 and Ported LS3 heads.

Shaved/ported heads. Easy 35-40hp if you bump the compression a point or so

Since you don't want to change the camshaft - the extra fuel/air you'll need has to come from somewhere. Here's what one of my customer did to get there!

Your numbers are just about identical to mine and i am thinking that shaved and ported heads with an electric water pump should put me over the 500 mark and if not it will be very close.

I think the phone mod will get you over the 500 mark Personally I think you should go with the heads. why not?
