I am looking to do a rebuild to me ls1. I would like to make it a 383 and have as big a cam as possible. What should i expect out of this setup...

Moser 12-bolt
Monster level 3 clutch
TSP rotating assembly w/ Eagle forged crank, Callies comp star H-beam rods, Wiseco -8cc pistons and clevite bearings
Custom grind TSP camshaft
Comp Cams Ultra gold rocker arms
Comp Cams Pro magnum push rods
Comp Cams hydraulic roller lifters
AFR 215cc heads
FAST 102mm throttle body and intake manifold
FAST 39lbs injectors
SLP intake lid
Kooks long tube headers 1 7/8"
Melling oil pump

Anything major im missing???

right around 470-500 HP and 460-480 Tq would be my guess, depending, the six speed will dyno higher than an auto every time.

Thanks. Does anyone have a suggestion for a better setup? That would make more power?

Turbo

If only i could afford to drop an extra 10 grand on a kentucky turbo twin setup

By the time you buy all the crap in that list you could buy an iron block 4.8 and turbo kit...OR if your crank and rods are good buy some dished forged pistons and a turbo kit. That list of parts is going to be around $10k. I love how people assume turboing is more $$$ than building a NA motor.

Well i have already talked to kentucky turbo about a setup. And the setup i would do (twin turbo) is about 9500 if i want to keep my a/c. so that is out of the equation. But i would love to turbo it but cant

Ok so you priced an over the top turbo setup and decided it's too much...good job!

Kodiak450

well if i am going to turbo it i want to twin turbo it. Now if you can come up with a reasonable turbo setup for an ls1 that makes more power than a 383 then i would think about using a single setup which are still 3700 for a kit from kentucky turbo. Also i would need supporting mods

What supporting mods do you think you would need to out perform a NA 383? A single turbo 4.8 can crap on a NA 408 with the right setup. You could also consider a procharger. I've used the $188 (shipped) ebay headers and they are solid pieces. I believe they are built on the old LPP design. You could also look for used upgrades like LS6 cam (I'm about to sell a 216/224 .551/.551 115lsa cam with 918 springs).

Well how about the clutch being about 600 bucks more and the trans not being able to handle 600 or 700hp for very long...but i will look into a turbo a little more

if your going turbo sell your t56, turbo and auto hit the gas and hold on ,imo all turbo cars should be autos, i dont know why you were looking at a twin turbo kit lol, one turbo will more than do the job

Go big or go home theory idea was in my head i guess
