How to get to 375?

Hey, everyone Ive searched the site many a time and I dont post much so I thought I would just ask a few questions. I have a 94 z28, with a morso cai, but thats it. For christmas I got jet hots and a comp 224/230 cam. Obviously I am getting exhaust, probably borla, but does anyone have any experience with the magnaflow? Next, my goal is to get to 375 hp, how realistic is that? Will the exhaust(LT's, Borla, ect), Cam and Heads get me there? Let me know anything else I should get to, I really appreciate anyones help, thanks. Id like to get to 375 rwhp, not flywheel, or close doesnt have to be exact.

everyone's car is different, so it really depends.
but i think 375 is a little high for an lt1 with just bolt-ons and a cam. not to say that you couldn't come close, but i don't know if you'll make it.
guess you'll have to do all that stuff first and find out.

370rwhp is possible with what you have, fully ported heads, the full exhaust, and maybe a 52mm TB.

What about just all together new heads? Forgot about the throttle body. Hmmm lets start a list. Anything else that will add performance, tunning, stall converter, gears anything else?

1.Exhaust (headers back)
2.Cam
3.Heads, all together new heads or ported and what not?
4.TB

Thanks

Everything on that list plus some 3.42 or 3.73 gears and a 3,000 stall converter. I'd recommend Strange for gears and a Precision Industries vigilante converter. For the heads, look in the for sale section for some bare stock LT1 heads....you should be able to find them for around $200-250 if you shop around. Contact Lloyd Elliot - nighttrain66@msn.com he's a great guy to talk to and really knows his stuff. He will port your heads to the fullest and make them flow some real nice #'s.

Heads, cam, headers and your there.

With good heads, a decent cam (230+, .550+) and a good tune, 400 is definetly possible

Oops can't forget tuning.....you're probably going to max the injectors as well. For tuning go to www.madz28.com , he may be closed for another 2-3 weeks though. I got my tuning from him and he's a really good guy.
