So ive been thinking about an engine swap?

lol thats why i built mine when i was 20 so then if i found my significant other i would skip that debate Lol but it sounds like there are some good guys for reference on here... Joel's seems to be where you want.. and if you want a little more extreme ill be where you want lol.. but a bit of advise, faster you go more things break LOL

Haha yes unfortunately that is true, in my mind thats just a reason to upgrade... but unfortunately she doesnt think the same way as me! haha. Are u still runnin the stock rear end?

Stock lt1s didnt come with headers . But yes my estimate is on the high side. A stock stock one is probably around 250-260 at the wheels.

96 and 97 cars had 285 and a ss with a super dooper intake made even more.

Marketing. Line them up when they were new I doubt you would have seen a noticeable difference.

look on my page I only have a lt4 hot cam, lifters, 1.6 rockers, springs, intake, exhaust, and dyno tune and I am at 355 rwhp.. Even though now I wish I had port/polished heads and intake mannifold and a throatier cam, but I guess then I would have to do some other mods to support the extra power.... TO be completely honest with you with what I have done now I cant get any traction(to me its counter productive) but Im sure some drivetrain work and good tires would change that.

Yeah, i really like the lope of the gm847 cams, but after looking up some of the A.I. packages some of the other guys recommended i'd like to go with one of those. Still not sure whether i want to do aftermarket heads or just p&p the factory ones, but i for sure am going to do head work. from what ive looked up though im still a few $$$ short... For now im just gonna focus on buttoning up some of the smaller things on the car like body work, headlight motor, etc. n plan on starting a build this winter. Plus im in the middle of doin fuel injectors on my diesel which is a nightmare...
