Default what would be the ultimate n/a lt1 build?
So I am wanting to see what the ultimate lt1 n/a build people would go with.


I guess what I am asking what parts would you use to get the most power a lt1 can make n/a.

Going to have to run an aftermarket ecu and a very good bottom end to go with whatever trick setup you can afford up top.

I would build an SB2.2 LT1 like Dave, but spec it for NA. His made over 700hp on motor with a nitrous setup. Using one of those bowtie LT1 blocks for a 434ci motor 1,000hp NA would be possible. This is something that could be built today if someone had the money and desire...

Impressive for a 358, but SB2.2s have been 1200 NA on a smallblock - albeit with more cubes - and can be gotten cheaper then the trick RFD heads.
