so what kind of power gain does the ls1 have over the 5.3? it will be going into a 97 camaro. im looking to achieve 400rwhp 400 torque. or what ever it takes to beat my brothers 03 mach 1 mustang.

around 22 cubic inches. the 6.0 would be 39 ci.

go Lq9(6.0L.) Probably the best you can do, put a nice cam and bolt on's, you should have him.

i already have a set of stage 2 853's and wanted to pair them with a tr224 cam, the car will have LT headers. You thank maybe that with a 5.7 will get me to 400rwhp?
also i dont want to go over kill on the rearend not sure how the stock rear will hold up so i dont thank ill be using a stall.

so will my 853's fit a 6.0 LQ9?

they'll fit but I'm thinking too much compression for pump gas. the lq4 might work better. you can bore a 5.3 to a 5.7, with the right pistons those heads would be fine. to put a good combo together you need to do your home work. are the pistons flat top or dish? out of the hole and how much? how many cc's are the heads? and so on.

I was able to get 410 rwhp with a tr224 and 5.3L heads cnc ported on a stock bottom end.

If your an M6 very likely but you will be pretty close with an auto. I got 402 rwhp with my stock stalled A4.
