Default Here's what I'm doing...

I have a mostly stock 2000C5, A4, 43k miles, what's on the engine now: LG Street LTs w/hiflow cats/Z06 TI's at the back, Blackwing, 3:15 gears. Right now I'm at 326RWHP, 335torque. Here's what I plan on adding in a month:

LS6 Heads...Gen III, The springs are comp. cam (921) dual springs and titanium retainers. The push rods are 7.400 chm pro pushrods. The rocker arm assembys are stock ls6.
LS6 Intake
2003 Z06 Cam..
LS2\LS6 Timing chain
Ported LS6 oil pump

What does a set up like that sound like, and what's the guess at RWHP/Torque.
Thanks guys....

Well you have the two best determinants for engine performance already measure out; the ZO6 heads and camshaft. I would look for performance numbers close to what a Z with the exhaust mods would make. One other thing; we have experienced issues with running titanium retainers on our fast street engines that see a lot of miles. We have had some unexplained failures and now stay away from them unless they are a "must have" for the application. Just my .02

Thanks Deakins...ended up going with what I listed, LS2 timing chain, 30lb injectors, new plugs, plus, Powerbond 25% UD Pulley. Ended up with 367RWHP, 365RWTQ, I'm satisfied, and enjoying.
