i asked about 400 hp and everyone told me to go to lloyd elliot. He has really nice packages and i have seen videos of people using his le2 head and cam package pulling almost 400 hp through auto transmissions. He has a higher package for built bottom end motors which you should probably check out.

I would recommend going through them too. I'm going through them for my build this winter. There are many LT1's that achieve between 450rwhp - 500rwhp N/A it just takes the right setup.

alright so i guess i will prolly just go with a cam and a nice port job and hope to meet 400 hp. but o well. i just got the lt1 for free from my friends dad and its in a running car. we are going to bore it out a little and go threw it all and put a small cam in and port it. its not costing me anything so i can't complain i am helping him work on cars for a little while but no big deal its all free to me.

I should make close to 72xrw on nitrous, so we still bragin?
It is expensive as **** to build a n/a LT1, you can make power with adders all day, but motor cars are a whole different story.

yea i already have some suspension just trying to get more. didn't expect for an lt1 to fall in my hands for nothing.lol. can't tru nthat down even though i wanted a ls1 but a lt1 kills the 3.8 any day.
Big Hydraulic cam, well-designed bottom end that can spin to 7K, good tune ...
it's doable with the right heads and a free-flowing exhaust.
I expect to be above 450 with my new 383 setup. (see link in sig)
It's easier with a solid roller cam, but there's a whole lot more maintenance involved.
Certainly nothing I'd want to drive on the street. (but some people do)
See http://www.fast93z.com/mods.php for an example of what might be needed.
Tony had 450rwhp auto setups running both types. (ignore the NX components, those are for his N20 setup)
