Hello guys, I have an 416 stroker LS3, and I'm willing to upgrade heads and cam.
What would you recommend for 600rwhp while still NA?
Chatgpt (

) recommended Frankestein M311 and a custom cam 255/267 duration .660 lift 113 LSA, is this really appropriate?
Also, what is good practice when changing those? Timing chain only? or gaskets aswell?

You’re not hitting that mark N/A. 525-535, maybe.

Check out Whammo in the last page of this thread. Your looking at a max effort NA build.

Yep. I would contact Andrew,"acammer", member on the forum who works with GPI and they have a "max effort" kit you can get, and he has it installed on his Camaro. You won't see 600 with an NA build as stated above.
