Question Internal Magic

Has anyone seen improvements in power with stuff like new pistons, valves, valvesprings, pushrods, etc. on a stock or close to stock Ls1. Just curious if there is that much room for improvement.

How would pistons, springs, pushrods give you more power?

You want improvement with internal mods? CAM IT!

for a stock motor I am not sure i dont think that anyone has tested a stock motor with forged internals and stock everything else. I believe that Force Fed performance had a stock everything firebird and put a turbo on it and b/c the motor had like 100k miles on it the valve springs were wore out. they gained a few with a spring change. but on a stock situation, your guess is better than mine.
