If you want to go 11's that is your easiest route. Otherwise you are looking at heads and cam (well without taking alot of weight out). Problem with N/A and not thinking about a power adder is that a "larger" size cam means lost drivability and poorer gas mileage (although you don't need a GIANT cam to go fast). Hp per dollar nitrous will always win.
Me and a few of my friends have sent 200 shots through our stock LS1s. It can handle a 125 shot reliably. A guy I know in MD puts a 125 through his stock 4l60 with bolts ons and runs 10.80's.
Are you on LS1Tech at all? |
Just to put this out there , i work at a Performance Shop where we build/tune most of the fastest street and race cars in the country,As for LS series motor knowledge i well... lets say iv forgotten more than most people know... what your saying about the nitrous is absolutely correct, but its still a rout i would like to stay away from.. so far there has only been on bolt on GTO in the country to break 11's (and its a girl.. and she is hot) and it will not be an easy task but i believe it can be done and remain a daily driver.. with a clos to stock cam
