Default What should I do first to stock motor of LS1 to get the most hp gain.

I just got a 2004 GTO and I have twin turbo on it, but the motor is all stock besides the headers. I have a turbo 400 trans. I would like to know what I should do to motor to put it right around 500hp with out the turbos? Anyone help please

Whats wrong with the turbos?... why go backwards and go NA?

500 in a ls1 is not common, takes way too much cash and may not see those numbers, or close to it.

Exactly ^^ what's the real reason you don't want the turbos??

Too much power for the street? Turn the boost down

SPRAY IT! no really nothing is wrong with turbo cars, I miss running a turbo some days, that was fun!! I think you would regret dumping the turbos and trying to build that kind of power NA. especially if your on a budget.

the 500hp LS1 is a dream few have accomplished and those who have, have the wallet to match. If you're tired of turbos switch to a Maggie or procharger....you could easily make a ton of power with a D-1SC or F1A procharger.

So you are saying it's not even 500 hp with the turbos right now? Very simple solution then...turn up the boost a tad lol

Yeah, I can see where he might be impling that now that I read it again. Not really sure the logic behind it, but to each his own lol

Are you talking 500hp like C6 Z06 505hp... or do you want rear wheel numbers? 500hp n/a is doable...as everyone else is saying...500rwhp is a goal just not worth chasing without a fat wallet n/a.

Sounds to me from the OP that he's is trying to get the motor to 500 BEFORE the turbos maybe?

Otherwise this thread is weird

I think he wants 500 before adding the turbos, so if he didnt have the turbos he would have a 500 engine as well.
