500 plus would be best suited if you stroked your ls1 out to a 383. That's expensive though. You can get close to 500 with a big cam, fast intake, ported heads, long tubes, supporting fuel injectors for horsepower capacity, lid, ram air, true duals 3". This is only an outline. You will need other parts to support these mods. I've got a list of what I'm running in December in previous posts. I'll throw the list up later. Also check out JakeFusion's build or Tony Mamo build. Martin from Tick Performance can talk you through a good cam. Just read around on tech. Tons of information on here that is very valueable.

I wonder why someone would port and polish the intake, but not do much else. A nice heads and cam package would be a good start...
