Lt1 engine might be going bye bye... Ok so i just got my car put back together and after the last couple months seeing my friends cam their LSX cars and seeing the power gains from cam and boltons it's got me thinking about ditching my LT1 and doing a swap.. I hate to say it but we just can't get the same numbers for the buck it seems like.. How much do you think i could sell my current set-up for...

why dont you just spend the money that you would spend doing a swap on building the motor even more...if you switch to an ls1 you have to start at ground zero
oh and tell us more about your heads

Buck for buck, you will NEVER match the LS1 all things being equal. Just get over it or get one.
You should at the least get a dyno chart to see what you are really dealing with. If the heads are ported properly and with the CC306 and others items in your post, you should be very close to if not a tad over 400RWHP.
BTW there are better cam choices out there today. The CC306 is old school. Contact Lloyd Elliot for cam advice.

not sure what price range you were thinking for your motor, but i would say around 800. If you do plan on an ls swap i would forget about an ls1 and go with a 5.3, super cheap and anything you can do to ls1 you can do to 5.3. just throwing that out there.
