Deciding how to build this LS1 I am faced with many options as well as many problems. Namely California Emissions. This limits me to what I can or cannot do. So the question is will it pass, and any ideas on HP output? This is all based on a lot of research from this site :bow:
Heads
Down to two different selections:
CNC LS6 heads from GMpartsdirect part number - 88958622 (http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results.cfm?singlepart=1&partnumber=88958622)
Advanced Induction Econo Port LS1 Heads (http://www.advancedinduction.com/AiProductsLS1.html )
I am leaning towards the LS6 heads, but I am looking for the most power I can make, while still being able to tune the motor for emissions.
Camshaft
There is only one that I am really looking at and that is the:
99-224/224-114 Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft - 224/224 .563/.563 114 LSA 1700-6600 RPM Power Band. Excellent mid-range & high RPM power. Requires computer tuning on automatic transmission cars. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended.
114 LSA to pass Cali Emissions.
Headers
JBA LS1 Headers (http://www.lmperformance.com/2332/1.html)
Only thing Cali Legal.
Throttle Body
F.A.S.T. 90 MM Throttle Body For LSX Intake (http://www.lmperformance.com/4683/1.html)
So any ideas on power at the crank and do I have a shot in H**L of passing California Emissions?
