Default Stock block LS1 how much power on a max effort pumpgas combo?

ALright I have a LT1 in the car now that makes 470rwhp locked SAE through a 4L60E and a 9 inch.

I have a stock f body LS1 out of a 99 ss.

I also have some 5.3 heads.

How many cubic inches can this engine be taken to safely?

How much power can I make with it?

Can I make big power with the 5.3 heads? WHat heads are best?

Can I make more power with a Carb?

Or dont even try with this block, get a 6.0 liter.

Or keep what I got, because I am on par with what I can make with this block.

Any and all opinions welcome.

All these questions have been answered for the past couple years. Do a search.

396 safely without resleeving. 3.905 bore and a 4.125 stroke

Power = 500+rwhp and lots of torque

There's a guy running 9s on motor with Greg Goode ported 5.3s on top of a 408.

Carb = pointless

Weight reduction = Relatively free way to make your car quicker.
