Default What to do with LT1

Im debating on what to do. Im buying a 96 b4c roller this weekend for 200 with complete harnass and all. It has a good rear , no rust. Im debating on what to do with the car. Get this it comes with an lt1 longblock, new lt1 intake manifold and tb, and a 4l60e trans. Now i dont know how good any of this is but i have an lt1 shortblock out of a caprice that i was planning to rebuild. Now what should i do as far as that ? I would like to run a N2O setup but i dont wana spend too much money on a head and cam combo. My goal would be 11s and i was thinking of a gm847 but n20 and that cam would spin too high rpms. So a little help on the setup would be a big plus from rebuild parts to n20 shot.

P.S I have a 4l60e core that i could get rebuilt for free just pay for parts.
Thanks

Dont plan on not spending much to run 11s. If you want to shoot nitrous in there and not have too many problems, you better get forged pistons, rods, and crank. Need to strengthen up the bottom end AND TRANNY. Rear end probably needs some work too.

3200 stall, mild cam, nitrous, should get you HIGH 11's if done right.

you gotta spend to play.

You could run mid 11s on that setup..With headers and a 224/230 112lsa .536/.545 i could run 11.90s in my 6 spd without the juice

a stock bottom end will handle 150 with no problems, the 4l60 though don't like spray... at least mine don't and neither did my buddies 94. some of the newer LS1 cars seem to handle the power better. Stall, exahust, CAI, spray, good tire. Should see 11's
