If you want to make a lot of power and still have it reliable, the LS1 SBC is your best bet. Before I moved to Germany I had a '02 SS Camaro that was putting down 463 Hp and 492 ft lbs., all that power was created off of a cam, headers with exhaust running no cats or sometimes dumped through a cut out, intake system, and a 75 shot. Talk about a monster, I used to love pulling that up to the line against all the high end european sports cars and revving the engine to 3k with the cut out open. The expression on the other drivers face was always priceless. |
