New to the LS world and looking for the best, quick and somewhat easy power adders. (No engine dropping and taking apart just yet)

MEAN LT1

This is LT1 territory.

Nitrous...do it.

Zachariahponder

For obvious reasons i knew about this one lol. Have any expirience with the LT4 hot cam?

Zachariahponder

Im starting a build for a drag car, thats why I said no tearing the motor down yet.

Long tube headers, cold air intake, mail order tune. Hotcam is small and a good entry level cam, but there are MUCH better options.

Gears and tires.

cats or no cats? and what cam would you recommend on it? Also, could i fit L92 style heads on?

Cats depends if you have emissions checks... if not, ditch em.

Looks like you don't know the LT1 too well... The stock heads when ported can support a good amount of power. There's only a few aftermarket offerings for an LT1. L92 heads are for an LS motor..... The only thing the same from an LS to an LT1 is the lifters. Completely different motor.

You've got A LOT of reading to do. I'm going to tell you this, before you go tossing horsepower at the car, you need to make the rest of the car can handle it. The best way to build a car you intend to make fast goes in this order... (My opinion of course)

Rearend (S60, 9", 12 bolt), suspension, driveshaft, trans, clutch/stall, full exhaust, CAI (if non ws6/ss), fuel system, motor.

Basically start at the rear and work forward. Nothing more embarrassing than having 400 HP and you can't hook or you keep breaking stock parts.

What brand tires? Ive heard hoosier makes good tires. Just not sure.

93M6Formula

For slicks, Hoosier QTP are hard to beat. Just don't expect your 10 bolt to last which is why you need to upgrade.

Does Moser make a 12 bolt 9" rear end? or are they 10 bolt. And I was thinking of doing tires, wheels and rear end all at the same time.

There's no such thing as a 12 bolt 9" rear end, there is a ford 9", then there is a gm 12 bolt. Put your wallet away, do some reading before you make huge mistakes. You have an LT1 engine, completely different than an LS1, nothing is interchangeable except the lifters, they are COMPLETELY different engines. You said you didn't want to tear the engine apart, a cam is pretty deep in the engine, go read some stuff.

93M6Formula

Moser makes a 12 bolt and a Ford style 9" for our cars. I would recomend the 9" if you have a 6-speed.

There's other companies too. I have a Strange S60 in my car which I like a lot more than a 9". Another choice for a 6-speed car.

But as said, you have A LOT of reading to do here. This site is full of the same questions you're asking. Do some research and learn before you spend a dime. If you can't find an answer, come back with questions.
