Is this a pipe dream? I hope you were not serious. you said you pay attention on here too . Don't make Quiken come in here and try to school you on making 1,600rwhp.

 

solid roller and cubic dollars

 

408 gets my vote...I have one on the way for a FI application but you can build an na 550rwhp with good street maners. and on top of that if you want more power down the road its nothing to hook up a 200 shot and be really fast! understand your end goal and build the machine to attain it, it will save you alot of money and alot of headaches.

 

LOL I wonder hom many N/A 346 heads/cam cars are even in the 500rwhp club, not many IMO.......

 

Get a 454 LSX, and be proud of what you paid for.

 

To get a reliable 550rwhp out of an SS, you would need to spend at least 12,000 on the engine alone, then another 10,000 in misc mods like rear end, tranny upgrade, suspension mods, tires/wheels, fuel system. Could be more depending on who does the work for you. Then if you go to sell it, you will only be able to get back maybe a 1/4 of what you put into it.

If you want that much RWHP, sell your LS1 and get a 03/04 Cobra thats been whippled, they go for like 26-28K.

 

Or just add a supercharger to your ls1 with some heads and a cam

 

Ya im wondering that too... I must have got shafted or something..

 

yeah if thats the case im selling my ta and buying a ss asap

 

Wow!! You must be REALLY tired, because you just made another typo!

I'm sure you meant low 13's.. just like a standard Z28.. because they run the same times.. that's what you meant right?

 

get a what?????? HELL NO!!!!!!

 

ok well........ill probably build the ls1 and a power adder. im going to price everything out and see what the better route is. thanx everyone.

 

The better route is either D1SC procharged or Twin huffers.

and still cheaper than both is a nice LS2 427 with nice heads and a good cam.

 

id say do ALOT more research on modding in general.
