I have just purchased a LS1 out of a 2000 firebird with the 4L60E.
I am going to put this in a 1964 Chevy Pickup. The motor came with Pace Setter Headers. I am looking to spend about $1000 to get a little more horsepower out of the engine. What would be the best bang for my buck?

 

stall!

 

cam it while its out, thats what i'm doing

 

What he^ said.

 

cam for a horsepower increase, but i would go with a stall first, preferrably a yank

 

stall before cam but be thinking about a trans rebuild too

 

as far as bolt ons i would go with a cut out, gears 3.73's, stahl, tranny cooler, dr's!

 

It's going in a freakin truck. DRs really now?

 

full exhaust w LT's, Stall and Cam

 

X2. That will bring you right up to 1k if you do it yourself. The cam swap is easy as hell on the LS1.

 

come to houston with that attitude and a pocket full of money and you'll leave broke, bro. as far as the engine, i would go ahead and do some new bearings and rod bolts, good valve springs, and a leakdown test. and the stall everyone is saying.

 

**** up by me in chicago thier's an LS1 s-10 thats as quiet as a kitten, damn thing spanked my camaro no problem!

 

I gotta keep that in mind around here lol.

 

do a cam while the motor is out of the truck.

 

cam, stall, and seat time for the win!

 

Don't forget an LS6 or equivlent intake
