how much power are you looking for. do you plan on going further with the setup down the road?

Whats your budget...

Heads,Cam,Boltons... With the right setup you'll be closer to 500rwhp and spend about half your budget.

i had 2 H/C setups so far. the 1st made 430rwhp and my 2nd made 455. yes they were fun but i spun a bearing on my last bottom end so since im going forged this time, i figurged lets get it done and over with and go twin turbo, plus i wanted to be able to run 10s in full street trim which would be extremely hard to do with a stock cubed, h/c, 93 octane, streetable cammed, full weight ls1.

10's would be hard and for 8 grand you should have an awesome set up wherever you decide to go. You could forge the botton end using a stock diameter bore. 4 inch stroke forged crank and forged rodes for 2,800. Installed for about a grand maybe a little more for gaaskets. Then nitrous, forced induction or just a hudge loby cam all for around 8,000. just look around and dont settle for cheaper parts youll just end up replacing them anyway
