I am fairly new to ls1's. I just finished swapping an early ls1/6spd into my 67 camaro, and of course now I am wanting a little more hp. Let me preface this by saying I haven't had it dyno'd yet but will be doing that this week to see where i'm at now. My motor is stock except for a set of long tube headers. I have a budget of 4-5k and I plan on doing most of the work myself or having friends help. I did the entire swap myself so I think I can do it. My goal for this car is to have a decent street car that I can take to the track every now and then to have fun. I have 3.55 gears and limited slip in a 10bolt rear end. I was thinking of going ls6 intake with a decent size cam, but I am wondering if this is even possible with my budget. If not what do you all suggest with what I have to work with. Thanks for any help you all can be.

well if it was my car i'd look at texas speed tsp 2.5 heads , maybe a fast 90/90 intake & TB. then call a sponsor like colorado speed or texas speed to recommend a cam but take a look at ms3 , ms4 , t-rex for starters. just my one cent.

LS6 intake, AI HCR 241s and a medium sized cam will get you there on your budget. Also you have LT's without an exhaust? Look into some true duals.

I have 3" piping from the headers to my flow master 40 series mufflers. No cats. One set of 02 sensors on long tube collector.

To stay within your budget this is what I would do and this will get the results you are looking for. I would pickup a set of 243 or 799 heads and just have a reputable place just perform a valve job on them. Get a cam and quality springs for your setup. I wouldn't go crazy on the cam 228 intake or less. Keep your LS6 intake and have the throttle body ported. You should have money left over at this point and I would spend it on updating the PCV system, a melling 10296 oil pump, and a quality timing chain. Using new stock GM headbolts will save you money as well.

Damian@Spartan uses the Cam Motion 228/234(if that's not it it's really close), stock 243's and LS6 intake gets 430-440hp and killer torque.

id also add a under drive pulley and run a thinner head gasket to bump compression some.

Get 243s with valve job and get them milled .020-.0250 to bump compression, a Street Sweeper HT cam kit (cam, springs, pushrods, etc), a FAST w/TB and good tune. You'll have your goal and terrific street manners.

I'd call some of the vendors on here and see if they have any good deals right now

With Advanced inductions HCR 241's, fast 102 intake, and an AI 230/234 cam, I made a little over 450 to the wheel.

For intakes get a used ls6 that's in excellent condition or a new or used BBK SSI. For cams I'd keep the intake duration under 230(@.05"), but in the 226-229(@.05") range and the LSA in the 110-114 range. For heads CNC ported GM 243's or 799s milled to get the SCR up to 11.0:1, the TSP PRC Stage 2.5 LS6 CNC Ported Heads are a excellent choice in that regards.
