Default need a techies help with parts

I need help choosing the right parts for my 99 LS1/4L60E combo. The set up is completely stock right now, with 37K. I am installing this into my 1985 regal. I would like to put this set up into the 450-500 rwhp range. I know it will be costly but I would rather take the time to get the right parts the first time. Please keep in mind that I want to keep my A/C and power steering(sorry i like my comforts too,,,,, ). Thank you for your help guys. This place rocksssss!!!!!

Welcome aboard! It seems that the two packages right now that will get you those numbers are the Cartek 3X and LG Motorsports G5X3 packages. They typically make in the 475+ to 500 RWHP range although with an automatic they may be a bit lower.

For Camaro/Firebrd LS1's: The Vortech kit locates the blower high up in the engine compartment. The ATI kit locates it lower towards the frame. In a swap you might have clearance issues with the ATI kit.
