SLP lid
Ram Air
K&N

i need help knowing what to do for a naturally aspirated under 15 grand, if no i could get close the charge it for the rest. that will get me into the 10s 1/4. without NOS. please include drive shaft, tranny, stall, rear end, (drivetrain). the state law says you cannot have more than 700 hp for street at the wheels. so i want to max that law out or at lease get close. i am going to be a senior in HS and want a project besides that homework crap. lol. have a shop and can do mostly everything. i would like to maintain good gas milage around 16 in town. right now when i wrap it up i still get 19. thanks. my aim-pyronotic138, email-keaton_molleker@yahoo.com Here are a few pics

Good gas milage and big hp is difficult is best acieved by having two cars. Getting that much NA power calls for extra cubes, tricked out heads and intake, a large cam, high CR, maybe use of race fuel and gutting the car.

The LT4 stuff is nice, but a little expensive for what it is. I am looking to Port Pros Stage II Ported Heads http://www.portpros.com/GM_LT1-4.html
These with a Port-matched Intake and a 52mm Throttle Body will do nicely.

ok any cam is going to lope your not going to get one that doesnt and make over 500 hp...lt4 is a waste of money buy some ported heads...and over 12 mpg will no be achieved without nitrous...and n/a lt1 wont make 700 to the wheels they are few and far between and definately not daily driveable...get a hair dryer and tear up your motor all the time...or get some n2o and tear it up when you want

I'm getting a 396 LT4 connected up at a shop right now, and have been told it can put as much at 600hp to the crank, and if i'm extremely lucky, 550 to the wheels. But my setup isn't completely streetable. It'll be more of a weekend driver that goes to the track, and in no way a good gas mileage daily driver. I don't think there is anyway, with a N/A LT1, to get over 450 RWHP, and actually make it a dependable daily driver, but I may be wrong.
