I have a 2000 trans am ws6 and am looking to put alot of money into it. i'm wanting to rebuild the engine completely. what is the best route to take when rebuilding a ls1?

 

Well, at least you have the money! lol

But in all seriousness, what you just said is such a broad explanation. It would be best to take your ideas, put them on paper, then put them on here. That way, if your plans change, then so does your paper and you can update on here.

You want to go fast, who doesnt? But HOW you get there is another story.

 

What he said ^^^. Goals, budget, power adder, transmission, emissions, street car, track car, daily driver ???????

 

Such a wide open question...... Are you wedded to a LS1 block cause LQ4/9 iron blocks are cheap and easy to find...In a straight line a 408/L92 is hard to beat for the dollar. $$$ no limit do a big cube LSX block. I am just gonna stroke my LS1 block to 383 and aim for 475-500 N/A rwhp which will realistically be more than I can ever need on the street and if I get greedy I can add a 150-200 shot.

I need to do a lot of work on other parts of the car first though to even somewhat reliably withstand that HP. Damn money pit....And I thought the boat was bad..........LOL

 

becarefulll..once you start modding..you can't stop...its like having an affair your wife can keep track of..

 

Well said. That is why I got this car after I got rid of the wife.....And the GF will always be just that.... no matter the talent

 

Dont rebuild it unless it's all your budget can afford.

An LS3 416 would be the direction I'd go in if the budget permits

 

sell your car and buy a fully modded one..you will save .50 cents or more on the dollar this way...
