No LT4 is probably not the best route... There are combo's that will make you more power...

No need to touch the intake. Slap on a 52mm throttle body (up to 54mm fits w/o modification and then get 150 shot of NOS. 125 really is the max before you don't make any more power on stock motor, but up to you. Up to 150 is also the most you'd want to run w/o adjusting timing.

In other words, all you need to do to run 150 shot on a fully stock LT1 is run colder spark plugs. People do it all the time and don't hurt their motors at all, even with 150K miles.

Personally though, I'd get some bigger injectors just to help things out and a good mail order tune (MadZ28 or PCM for Less).
