a push in the right direction. So i am coming from european cars, mostly volkswagons and BMW's. and I kinda was just dropped this formula 93 lt1 6spd. shes bone stock atm. but as i said... for the moment. i have another daily driver on the way because this car is just going to be a weekend warrior and cruise wagon.come september/october the motor is going to be pulled and built, and shes getting new paint etc..etc..
I wanna know what kinda of horsepower I can do within reason. I am not looking to make this a DD by any means but it also not going to be a track car... myb once in a blue moon going to the track(if ever).
So... i am looking for some reccomendations on parts, cams, injectors, heads.....etc etc....and what to stay away from.
how much would i benifit from boring/stroking this motor? or should i jsut say screw it and buy a crate?(id lie to stay lt1)
and i would like to stay N/a....
thanx for any info.
(the reason i am asking for advice now.. is i would like to start peicing it togther and take my time getting the parts i want so come september i would ahve everything and be good to go..)

well we ripped it apart and everything is clean... all the internals are amazing for having 133k on the car itself...
i was kinda of hoping for mid to high 500...if not 600 N/a ... but thats where my problem lies i havent found anyone with that kind of power out fo an lt1 yet.

I don't really think that you will be able to get that much to the ground out of an LT1. You should be able to see 400-430, with h/c and bolt-ons. I know you want to stay n/a, but you could easily get to your desired power levels with just a 150 shot. Which even a stock LT1 would laugh at. Check out Lloyd Elliot for H/C combo, if he is still a sponsor (not sure). Hope this helps a little bit.

Bored maybe, but not stroked. Nitrous is definately the best bang for the buck mod. Check out http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/ they offer alot of different kits, so you can see what's out there. Those dyno numbers are off his website with a 6 speed and stock 10 bolt. I'll PM you the site because I'm not sure if he is a sponsor.
