My goal is be making about 500RWHP with out forced induction. But I gotta compare costs right now. Most SC kits are around $6k and turbo kits are about the same -- although there is one company offering a rear mount turbo for significantly less than $6k. So that may be the way to go.
Then main thing is most bolt on mods for the LS1 - the average person cannot tell - so maybe just maybe the dealer will not see the mods - and that may be a better route in case I need warranty work.
Jizz, with all due respect, I dont think you can hit that number NA without spending a lot of money and really going into the motor.
Have a friend with a 2000 Camaro SS 6M who went nuts on his motor, bored, cam, ls6 heads (among others tried), pistons, rods, the works etc etc etc and I think the best he did was 430 RWHP without juice. I havent really looked into it though
Does anyone know if the rear in that car can even take that kind of HP yet? Just wondering.
