what kind of HP gains will you see putting an sts kit on a stock lt1?

On my car it was 11psi on a cold night that did it in never dyno'd it back then

whynot

was running 6 unintercooled with out an extra fuel pump or tuning, ran fine, that is untill it spiked to 30+ psi for just a second. oops.

6psi should be good and relatively safe...probably 350-375rwhp on stock LT1.

now what to do to run say 10 psi. For 4000 dollars i would like to have about 450hp. Since im already running a 150shot of nitrous...

All depends on how much fuel you're getting into the motor. But it's a ticking time bomb with the weak high-comp poly pistons in there. All it takes is one instance of detonation...

Glad we have experts on here.

So how much would it cost to have the motor built? pistons and rods?

With an entirely stock motor, 42# injectors, Pacesetter longtubes & ORY, 4" mufflex, and the D1sc i made 450rwhp 430lb-ft, sae corrected. Not sure about the prices for this stuff now, but I had less than $4K in this setup because I bought the blower used.
Oh, untill you build a forged motor... Put that 150 shot on the shelf and forget about it if your planning to run boost. These motors barely handle boost, let alone nitrous too.

Fire67, how much boost were you running when you made the 450rwhp dyno pull? Did you make any 1/4 mile passes?

10psi, entirely stock other than full exhaust and the blower.
Never got a good pass out of it... But with the worst 60' Ive ever pulled on the MT radials (2.20) I did manage a 12.00, the tires hooked, but I bogged due to not having enough rpm when I let out the clutch.
Cant remember MPH, or anything else... Id have to look for the timeslip.
