Author Topic: Need some input on building my LT1 up jeffsz28 1st Gear Member # 2128 posted                    Looking for someone who has built there LT1 engine to throw up some nice hp numbers. i would like mine to have 400hp plus. i have some ideas of the parts i will be using and would like to talk threw emails so that the posts wouldn't be so long for the board. thanks Jeff Posts: 65 | From: Youngstown-Ohio | Registered: Sep 2003  |  IP: Logged HM Murdock Forum Moderator Member # 728 posted                       Well, there are many ways to go, I went kind of a different way, I should have ~410 or so at the wheels when it is finally done right. I'd say the best way is a 383 or 396 stroker with a custom grind cam, ported AFR210 heads, and long tubes with true dual exhaust, and some tranny work, along with either a 12 bolt or 8.8 inch ford rear, that should be a killer combo. -------------------- 1999 Trans Am - Pewter, A4, 3.23's Stock for now Posts: 471 | From: Justin, in the Great State, Texas | Registered: Sep 2000  |  IP: Logged jeffsz28 1st Gear Member # 2128 posted                    Hey thanks for the info - i emailed you also i will need my computer programmed so maybe you can help me out with that when i get the motor built.

He just got his motor back from a build-up and it should be a screamer. -------------------- '02 SOM SS Camaro #3111 M6, Hurst, every GM option Mods: !CAGS, SLP CAI, SLP lid, K & N filter, SLP bellows, power antenna, air temp module, 160 thermostat, Hotchkis sig. series STB, SLP bolt on SFC's, engine plaque, NGK 55 plugs, Mobil 1, Custom rear deck mat, MBA letters on back, Raptor shift light, Silverstar bulbs, Lou's short stick, QTP cut out, SLP decal,Auto Headlights Disable Mod, Decklid Hatch Spring Mod, Drill mod for clutch hydraulics, stronger M6 parts added, Painted calibers, 4 Drilled & Slotted rotors, SS floor mats, SSOA member M02-3111 Posts: 641 | From: northern Delaware | Registered: Jul 2002  |  IP: Logged
