I currently have a LPE Corvette LT1, stock displacement. I find I've become addicted to power and torque!

I've enjoyed modding the GTO too. The LS1-ish setup is working very nicely...even better when I scare up a new clutch.

If I want more power in the 'vette, which way would be best? I've limited the choices in the poll to ones in my price range I think. No giggle gas - bad experiences of others tells me NO.

I always remember that free opinions are worth what I paid for them, so have at it!

 

I prefer the stroker + heads/cam route.
Keep in mind that you will want to build the bottom end to handle the extra power.
Especially if you are planning on putting more than 500hp to the wheels or try to shift above 6500.

Blowers are great too, you can always come back and build the bottom end to handle
more boost later (and stroke it while you are at it).

What kind of budget are you working with BTW?

 

For sake of argument, let's assume around $6k to work with. Of course I'll have to scare that up frm somewhere, but it's a good round number that should be able to do any of the three options, especially if I do the wrenching.


Biggest problem I see with going the LSx route is the electronics. I like the ASR and don't really want to give it up.


The FI route I could do in-chassis, so that's a plus.


The stroker is something that's kinda been in the back of my mind for a while. It's more work, but fewer parts to break when complete!

 

go for the lt1 stroker, you already have the goat

 

What stroker kit did you use?

 

with 6k I would say stroker and heads/cam as well. It would be pushing it more to do either of the others with that much I think.
