ls1 or lt1

ok so i've been thinking lately...i have a 1993 Z28 stock lt1 and i want a camaro with 400-450 rwhp maybe even 500, not positive. My camaro is pretty damn clean for being a 93 IMO. Its an auto and i've been wanting a 6 speed lately. Would it be in my best interest to sell my Z and just buy a nice stock camaro ss with a t56 and build that up or sink that money into building my lt1 up and doing a A4 to m6 (t56 magnum) conversion?

500rwhp on an lt2 will require some pretty pricey stuff. so id go for an m6 ls1, and start from there. i think itll end up being cheaper

Re: ls1 or lt1

Both the LS1 and the LT1 are exceptional engines which make tons of power and have even more potential for making monster power. The LS1 has several key advantages over the LT1 including, All Aluminum Block and Heads vs. the cast iron block and heads of the LT1. Also the LS1 makes 35-40 more horsepower straight from the factory. The LS1 is a souped up version of the LT1. Both motors are strong and capable. It just depends on ur budget and how much money you can spend on an f-body. aftermarket parts for the LT1 are cheaper than with the LS1. I prefer lt1's tho. plus the headlights are awsome!
