You said a 1998 LS1 block, right? The max overbore on a 98 block is like .005". You absolutely cannot bore a 98 LS1 aluminum block .030" over, unless you resleeve it, and there is no way your gonna buy that motor for $2000. Your getting screwed!!!!!

So many people don't even know how much power 400rwhp is, let alone 575rw.

I remember back in 06 when I did my heads/cam setup and it made 446/411 with my cheap headers, LS6 intake, and baby cam. One of my buddies told another guy we know what it made and his response was, "That's all?"

This guy drives a 95 5.0 that at the time MIGHT have had headers and a CAI A lot of people really have no clue

My vote is the guys full of

judging by the forged parts, theres a good chance its a nitrous motor... he did say fogger system... by the sound of it, the motor only makes ~350 NA RWHP but it set up for a BIG shot

Well then $2000 for a forged motor in good shape....with 10,000 miles is a great deal - regardless of what HP it makes!

If it makes 575hp on motor, the damn intake and TB alone are worth $2000. Buy it and part it out to make triple your money!

^^ What he said.

Even if he got the motor for free, who in the hell would take a 5K+ loss just because he's getting a bigger motor?

Buy it for 2K tomorow and sell it for 6K by saturday... that's IF it has what your buddy claims and comes complete.
If he's stripping heads, fogger, intake, ect, ect all off the motor and just selling a short block then you might want to ask around again if its still a good deal.

This thread is funny. 575rwhp LS1 You know theres is a very very minimal numbers of LS1 pushing 575bhp!!?? This guy is full of it. Hes getting all his engines paid by daddy and it looks like he doesnt know anything about what he has in it.

The highest LS1s I've seen here is around 490-515rwhp and were talking about really expensive components put together by the best in an optimal way. And the guy hes still on pump gas and hydrolic setup I supposed LOLLLNever heard of any LS1 close to 550rwhp here. Damn, 408 stroker guys are happy when they hit the 500rwhp mark!

Hes a liar and dont know a damn thing about cars and LS1. Reminds me of a friend who bought a 350sbc built with ''nascar parts'' with over 550fwhp; it end up that my crappy 387rwhp ls1 put million of buses on him

Dont buy from him. Keep the 2000$ and go buy a shortblock from a sponsor here and youll know whats in the engine and youll get all the answer you need about building an LS1.

Whats better than a 575rwhp LS1

Unless the is supercharged or running a BIG shot of nitrous, its IMPOSSIBLE.

Listen man, nobody said an LS1 couldn't handle making 575 RWHP. It just can't happen with what he's using. Factory sleeved engine, little cam, those heads......thats the problem.

You have a ****** SUPERCHARGER....why are you posting about it here.

And your 557 RWHP with an FI set-up is absolutely NOTHING special.....even on all that stock stuff. There's engines out there like yours with FI making upwards of 800 RWHP.

no body said the ls1 cant handle the power. were saying you cant make that power N/A.

i also dont believe your running high 6's with 557rwhp and 575rwtq, may be in the 1/8 mile not the 1/4!


first what is a dale?

second telling us to F U is going to get you banned.

third you dont need to type in all CAPS!!!!

fourth learn to use spell check!

fith your myspace is set to private so what ever your trying to show us, we cant see
