The bottom-end on the LS1's are extremely reliable (I have 112 on mine and still running VERY strong). Especially with your 9in rear end, you have everything you need mostly to support the power. I'd say go for it. Look into SFC's then go for hp...your car a m6 or a4?

I vote for the H/C/I combo. If it blows because of the miles and added stress, you can (almost) always rebuild it

100k miles with my 98 I installed.. ms4 prc heads fast intake/tb lts xpipe 410s 4400 converter etc etc.. Stock bottom end trans and rear end. Times in Sig for the white car. it spun terribly because I was bone stock suspension and weighed 3100#. Suspension/tune and it would have ran 6.8s@98+ 1.4 short time.
Ran perfect the day I sold it with 116k on it.. fwiw those 16k, I had my fun.

My car has 180,000 miles...runs just fine. cuts a 8.35 in the 1/8th on motor with just exhaust...plan on spraying it, cam, and stall.

I'm not worried about the motor one bit...the trans...well that's a different story.

TRUTH! I have 1 more car payment and I'll be done with mine, finally! I only have a total of $12k in mine, with another 5 grand, I will make a lot of other 5th gen owners very upset
