Budget lq4 ~450rwhp
We had a customer dyno his sbe ls1 with 243 untouched heads milled .030.
Made 430/420.

The lq9 flat top conversion is
Pistons with pins
Rings
Oil pan gasket
Crank bolt
Head gaskets
Head bolts
Exhaust manifold gaskets
Valve cover gaskets
Can include front and rear cover kits and bearings etc if you want also for extra.
Basically a bare bones drop in kit that you can add whatever extra you want.

I have not had mine on a dyno since I swapped to the 6.0. But even with a turbo spec cam, my LQ4 with home ported 799 heads runs very well. I have a LS6 intake on it currently, but am swapping to a TBSS intake for the boost, when I get the hotside done. I would guess mine is currently putting down in the 420-430rwhp range. With a 2.0 60' the truck runs 12.1's 12.2's on street tires at 115.

Your cheapest route is here. The cam is only 280 dollars to boot.

You basically asking for a motor to make 1.37 hp per cube which is really easy to accomplish.

Yeah, it’s our culture around here. It’s the birthplace of racing. It all started here. Running moonshine. You had to build a fast car...and learn how to drive it...to outrun the revenuers. The winner of the first NASCAR Race is from here. Lots of folks here involved in motorsports somehow. It’s a cool place. Our city hall is the Ga. Racing Hall of Fame. Place is yuge! I wired Chase Elliott’s house. Saw him at lunch Monday. Bill and Ernie are cool as cucumbers.

Oh yeah! A very RICH racing history down yonder in your parts! I've read the books and seen documentaries on NASCAR's beginnings, and love it all!
I'm just so disappointed none of it's what it used to be, where the cars were actually based on production cars. Now they're just tube-framed identical-running gear (except engine), weird-bodied circle-burning funny cars. No corporate identity AT ALL.
