This is a very good run down of what works and why with a 508rwhp result from an LS1 5.7L. I posted is a couple of years back but its worth posting again.
Figure this is more like 450rwhp at SRR due to differnt US Dyno's
I think he made 480rwhp with a 224/228 cam, (ie) 420rwhp
Its good for showing whats possible when things are done well end to end. As he says not cheap to do things properly. But the results are good.
The UK tuners would have to charge heaps to do a setup the same which is why most setups locally dont come close. But the dedicated petrolhead with some carefull purchasing, a little DIY and some help now and again can get close.
Ive tried to do similar on most of my setups with some help from Roger to do the heavy work and have been pleased with the results and managed to top all similar setups in the UK.
Anyway, just some ideas for those looking at tweaking what they have and some pointers for where to look
