    This is an LT1? Are you set on 400?

    I'm sure you'll be happy with a little less. The LE and AI kits are becoming very popular and will probably net you 350-360 without getting into pricey heads. It's just tough to get those numbers through the automatics. [MENTION=254]JoeliusZ28[/MENTION] has one of these builds but with a M6. [MENTION=193]meissen[/MENTION] has a mild 355 that makes about 325 I think.

      If you even get close to 350+ HP at the rear wheel your going to have to consider rebuild on the rear end. I don't think stock rear would hold the HP especially with 220,000 miles on the clock.

        With that many miles, yes.. I would probably work my way back to front. Dont neglect suspension components either, I'm sure those need a good replacement.

            ^^ And you would be much happier unless you have some extreme sentimental value to your current camaro. Buy his, and keep the camaro in the mifbody family

                  I dont know why you are trying to push this car so much. Just PLEASE KEEP THE THING ALREADY! Or wait until I can buy it.

                    nonsense!
                    How much coin are you looking to drop? It may not smoke now but when you start driving it like it should be driven you'll have issues. My advice, do it right the first time. Call lloyd elliott or advance induction. Tell them your goals.

                    Get ahold of a reputable machine shop. Expect to pay 800-1400 for a nice stock (.030 rebuild on your bottom end. You'll need new rings and pistons, bearings, cam, freeze plugs, arp rod and main bolts etc.

                    At that power level you will probably be close to maxing out your stock injectors. Also is it a stock fuel pump?

                    Things just keep adding up. Plus the while you're in there stuff. Oil pump, White spring mod, starter, rack, also Suspension.

                    You have my number feel free to text me any questions. I'm far from an expert but...

                    not trying to discourage you just trying to help you know what to expect cost wise.
