So a couple of months ago I picked up my 95 Z28, it had about 170k miles, and its an auto. I am picking up another LT1 off a friend of mine that had less miles on it, and i plan on getting it rebuilt. I am also going to be doing a auto->m6 swap on it.

I have a Cold Air intake on it right now. I do not know much about the car other than what the guy told me. I didn't really own it long enough before i got deployed. Now something i want to do is put the SS style hood on it, i was looking on Hawksthirdgen and found a hood that i liked

http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/ca...iberglass.aspx

and there was a ram air kit at the bottom of the page... would ram air be the way to go? or should i just leave what i got on it?

I was also looking at getting LE2 cam set up, and heads polished from them, they said i could make about 400 hp with that set up? I already have a magnaflow exhaust, and hooker mid tubes, but was thinking about switching over to long tubes, leaving the exhaust the same when i swap the motor out. Do you think 400 is attainable with just that? what else am i going to have to do for the car to be able to support that amount of power?

Thanks for the help guys.
