performance curiosity

Yall have prolly heard this question before but I'd like to know some of yalls opinions...I have a pretty much stock ls1 right now all it has is an slp air lid and msd plug wires and 3.43s in the rear...my question is what would be the easiest/quickest way of getting 400+ hp/tq to the rear wheels?

Tune, exhaust, and cam. Plan for a rear end at that point.

No "quick......and all the time" but doing cam for that power to the ground.

full bolt-ons plus cam plus tune could net you better than 400rwhp

Cam may or may not get you to 400. Depends on the dyno and and a few other factors

You don't want to rush anything. Take the time to read up on what others have done, and then make your own choices based on what you can afford, etc...

You might hit 400 RWHP with a cam, intake, freshened up stock heads and full exhaust. New heads instead of keeping the stockers and you'll surpass 400.

How many miles on this thing?

The clock says 186xxx but I refreshed the bottom end and gave it a tune up before I put it in

I wouldn't run any sort of shot on your car with that mileage keep it all motor nitrous would kill your block before you get to 200xxx

I'd like to avoid nitrous just cause of the expense side of it and I'd like to keep this motor going for a good while...it was surprisingly clean with minimal wear on the internals...the previous owner used nothing but mobil 1 and by the looks of it babied it so I'm hoping it goes for a long time
