Looking for advise first of all forgive my bad english. I have 96 Impala with ls1 & t56 bolt-ons & i want to modified my car to beat charger srt 6.4l & camaro ls3 all stocks Is thier any chance to beat them in 1/4 or 1/2 miles .What can i put in my hood to reach them with natural breath i don't like gas or turbo . open budget. I hope i can used my car daily not just for drag race. I think if I can reach 500 hp I will beat them ? what do u think ?
Heads, Cam & intake on the LS1, or go to a LQ4 or LQ9 bore & stroke to 408 with heads cam & intake.
If you want to keep the LS1 I would go with TrickFlow TEA ported 215 heads, a LS6 intake or a FAST 102 intake with a 92 Throttle body, larger injectors (42 lb or 48 lb) and contact Martin at Tick Performance for a cam. You could do all this without pulling the engine.
If you don't care about keeping the LS1 then you have a world of options.
It is easy to purchase a crate engine that makes 500 or more hp either from an engine shop or from a GM Performance Parts dealer.
Or finding a used LQ4, LQ9, LS2, LS3 or even LS7 and having it rebuilt to your specs.
If I had an open budge I would be looking at a LSX454. I would change the valve covers so no one knows its a 454.
Just some stuff to think about.
