243s and ls6 cam and Walah you have an LS6. I would suggest getting a set of worked 243s(milled slightly and a good p&p) and a good sized cam (226/230 or 224/228 come to mind). Add a triple disk 34-3600 stall and you have a scary fun ride on your hands.

Are you talking about a true LS1? 5.7 aluminum block f-body, corvette style or the generic term used to describe a gen III, IV engine. If so, I've always wondered about 243/799 heads combo package on an LS1.

Don't be scared haha it would be worth it. If you want to go more mild then get the 243s milled P&P and throw a mild(216/220) cam at it. No need for a stall and plenty of power to work with.

Ok we got that option or what would I need to get 350 to 400 maybe a Lil more than 400 hp out of a 5.3l

Boost or spray are about the only options to get over 400rwhp. Even cam heads and every Bolton on the market you won't likely hit 400. 325-375 is the expected range for a cam and heads 5.3 when tuned well. Most people don't understand what 300+ will even feel like because they don't realize these trucks only put down 215ish stock.
