Ls2 to +/- 500whp
Hey guys Im in need of suggestions here.
My cousin is putting a ls2 into his 69 Camaro and while the motor is out we want to make all modifications we can to get to the goal of 500whp. The car is only a weekend driver and will have a 6spd MN tranny. My question to everyone is, is this possible with the following:
Heads
Cam
Ported FAST
Headers
Intake
Tune
Is there any recommendations on heads/cams to use for this project?
Thanks for the help.

Not really. There are lots of workable combinations. I know trickflow heads have a few cars past 500rwhp and I think RPM has a 500+rwhp car on well-ported LS2 heads. As far as cam I'd think you'd need something at least in the mid-high 230 duration range.
The easiest/cheapest way to do it would be to just put a blower on the car.

Many cars over 500 rear wheel with the trick flow 225s, FAST 102, and the G6X3 cam. Probably could get it done with a slightly smaller cam, but that cam would definitely get you to your goal.
The AFR215V2s or 230V2s are a good head option also. They come in a little cheaper because you don't have to buy new rockers.
If I had it to do all over again. I would have spent my heads/cam/intake money on headers and a blower and been done.
Good luck sounds like a fun build.
