Default ls1 build help

hey guys, new to this forum and to the ls1 in general. Just picked up a 98 ss m6 and looking to got to 400 rwhp as a goal. Didn't know which section to put this in but figuring im trying to stick mainly with bolt ons so here it. Here is what I got to work with currently.


z06 maf
ported tb
ls6 intake
hooker exhaust, headers back, deleted cat
f&n cold air pack


think that's about it for power adders, plan on doing a cam later.


thanks guys

You won't hit 400 rwhp with just bolt ons, but with a cam maybe.

It's really gonna depend on the cam and dyno. How it performs in the real world is what matters

Fully agree. 400 is just a number to shoot for
