well 400bhp at the engine isn't so hard, full exhaust (that means lt headers too), lid, and Ls6 intake manifold if pre 01 Fbody plus a tune will get you pretty close.

If you want it to the wheels the the above with a cam should do it (cam dependant)

Or slap a blower onto it, ATi Procharger @ 8psi will see 440rwhp

If you put a blower on it try for 500!

what kind of budget do you have? you'll have to have some supporting mods....like suspension to hook up if your drag racing..or road racing. if your a m6 you'll need a stronger clutch, auto you'll need a torque converter to make full use of the added power, plus I doubt the stock rear would last long if your putting anytype of abuse on it.

Full bolt ons + cam can put you there or way above.

Cmon, this is an ls1 we're talking about, we always assume it's in RWHP, we aren't ricers, are we? haha. Just messing with you.

But yeah, like he said...with a somewhat large (f13/f14 etc.) cam 390-400rwhp is pretty common. That does include all bot-ons however.

One word for you....nitrious. A 150 shot should put you there or extremely close.

I've got 375 with the mods in my sig. Do that without cats or a cutout, and you're there. Drives like a dream too.

I have a 98 ls1 412 to the wheels. I have a thunder racing cold air kit, ported maf and throttle body, ls6 intake, pace setter long tubes, an electric cutout (i am using the stock muffler so when i have the cut out closed the car is not that loud), tsp magic stick version 3 cam, c5r timing chain, rev dual gold springs and titanium retainers and good set of push rods. and witha set of heads i should make around 450
