400 Hp and a nice rear end means you'll blow any stock f-body out the water. Especially the new one.

Wait what? I think it would take more than 400 horse unless you have like 4.11+ gears.

Stock camaros with ls1 make 330 hp and have comparable weight to a gbody. The new 5th gen has 420 Hp and weights 3900+. All you need are 3.42 or 3.73 and you're set.

what cam would i use in order to do this? what springs? what do i tell the machine shop to do to the heads?

would i be able to reuse my rollers on the cam

You can use the springs from "Alex's parts" and they are a direct fit. You would need roller 1.6 self aligning rockers. You can use the LT4 HotCam but there is another GM performance cam that is a bit more aggressive. Let me look for it.

Check this link out. The vortecs are very similar to the Lt1 heads.
