For $20Large I would need to see more than 467rwhp.
LPE or not, those are rather low numbers for LS6's in this day and age.
We have folks here on the forum with 440rwhp heads and cam 346ci cars. Some even higher. (unless these claims are all lies and no-one has more than 410rwhp from a heads & cam in the real world).
One would hope all that money and work would net you 500rwhp, or very, very close to 500.

ACTUALLY our Heads / Cam PKG. puts out between
425-430 RWHP and has a 2 year Warranty!

Yes it is right at 500 RWHP or more depending on cam choice ( LPE tends to underestimate the power of all the PKGs and leave the creative math to others.)
JMHO.

So, is the only difference b/w this package and the other ~$28k 427 package (including headers) the fact that the other uses a C5R block? If so, why the large disparity? I can see the R block being $4-5k more, but not $8-9k more. Just curious.
Regarding the RWHP rating... I for one need to have a combo that will pass a sniffer. It's not here in DFW now, but it is coming. I would rather get 470rwhp and be emissions legal, than use some radical cam/head setup and make more HP/CI, but have no chance of passing smog.
I was talking to another local shop owner who I've known for years and expressing this sentiment. Seems that basically no one caters to the emissions-compliant crowd, and I understand why. You spend the same $$ and make less HP. But, nevertheless I'm willing to do that for a package that can both make awesome power and pass strict smog (which LPE's does).
I'm spraying on top of it anyway.

It is a SPECIAL Intoductory Price,
let me know if you want the C5R Block
and I will also make you a Special Price

We can make it pass the sniffer, I would assume your requested # would not be a problem.

Every car that leaves our shop has catalytic converters unless they were removed previously by someone else,
it's not worth it for the fines involved.
Most cars that leave our shop will also pass most states "Sniffer Tests"

It's always possible to get more HP by going with bigger cam, and free-er flowing heads. The downside is the powerband moves up in RPM, as does the peak power point. An extreme case is the Honda S2000. Great HP for the displacement, but pathetic bottom end. Increasing displacement increases power everywhere on the RPM curve, not just at the bottom. I bet this 427 makes a boatload of torque at 2000 RPM, compared to stock.
