Your car has the potential to rip apart any car on the street. What do you have done now? LT1s should stay LT1s.

Send your heads and intake to LE and have Lloyd grind you a custom cam, custom tune. Lots more power to be had. Also 355 383 396. Spray, blower, turbo's? Will cost less than a crate motor.

you dont want a crate...have a machine shop do your bottom end up with some goodies and stroke it and bore it...then do your top end with LE
