Build up of a LS1 info/help needed
Build up of a LS1 info/help needed I am posting for a friend. He has a 2000 Camaro Z28 and wants to build up the internals as of right now he has a LS6 intake manifold Throttle body headers 460LE with a stall. He is shotting for number as high as possible which we are hoping is over 550-600 RWHP.
We are looking to do heads cam lifters etc etc to get to this number all NA numbers he is also debating about a lil juice(probably a 150 shot
EDIT: he also has a walbro 255 fuel pump

So what you are saying is an LS1 built (in an auto no less) to make 550-600 NA? Well most would say thats impossible. Add spray and it could be achieved but I believe you would be pushing the limits of the internals of the engine and the block itself.

I don't think you can get there from here! With an LS1 at 5.7L you are hampered by cubes (347) to get to 550+ hp N/A. If you go to an LS2 block or 6.0L (402 cubes) block it will be a lot easier for him to get there. Now he can easily get to 450 RWHP N/A on the LS1, and maybe 500 but the 347 cube limitation is the biggest thing that will hold you back on your way to a 600 rwhp N/A.

Do a search there are people here in the 500whp category with stock displacement I think its a sticky. But all of them took money not just some off the shelf heads and cam.

I know the budget my friend has can handle 500rwhp, his pockets aren't empty.
What I really need help with is heads, Cam we already have a idea of what we want. Heads lifters springs etc
And also I believe there will be a 150 Shot

Fact is, you're more than likely not going to hit 500+ to the wheels on just a heads/cam combo with the 5.7. It's possible, but not likely. Now with that said, take a 6.0 with a big custom grind cam, good heads, and a fast, with a good tune, you'll probably see the destination. My choice for 500 na would be take an lq9 block, make a 408 with a good h/c combo and see 500.
If you're friend is willing to spray, then forget what i said above, ms4+heads+fast+spray= around 550 i'd think.
