My first LS1 build
I am open to suggestions on what to build. I have a 03' LS1 with 243 head. I am looking for 400-450 HP with a Carb set-up. I wont be drag racing it, just cruising etc. Cam, intake, carb help would be great. BTW going with 700R tranny.

Your 03 ls1 has a ls6 intake so unless you want to drop 2k on the fast setup, the ls6 is your best bet. A 23x/23x 59x/59x 110-112lsa cam would make very good power. You could also send the 243 heads out to be ported too. Are you talking crank or rear wheel hp?
Edit: never mind the intake If your going carb.

If you go with a "smaller" cam since your just going to drive it around. You will need more than a cam. Even a MS4, t-rex, etc would gain but what 40-45 rwhp Most likely going to have to get some good heads. The AFR heads are pretty nice.

A few more hp up top, but low end is effected and FI is the way to go if your just going to drive it around.
