I was wondering if LE2 heads/cam package on a full bolt-on/full exhaust lt1 plus a 150 shot threw a six speed is the cheapest way to around 500 rwhp. I know there are alot of other concerns like tuning etc etc. but considering everything is right.

 

Its not going to be cheap if the stock bottom end cant handel it

 

If you are using nitrous then you could do it with any popular cam and LE1 heads

 

500 RWHP?----Whatever you are smokin', gimme some.JMHO

 

Anyting is possible on the bottle.

 

Yup.... LE1 package on stock bottom end with a 150 will get you over the hump.

 

to hit 500rwhp w/150 shot you will only need ~350rwhp NA

I made 566rwhp on a 150 Shot and 422rwhp NA

 

This would definitely get you there.

 

it will be fun till a piston or rod breaks....

 

Cammed Lt1 with Full Bolt-on's and a 150 NX kit should do right at 500RWHP.

 

Properly set up, I'd be more worried about the bearings.

I agree. No need for ported heads.

 

im always hearing the stock bottom end is weak, what is weak about it. the pistons ? the rods? the crank?... mabe ill have to build mine up better.

 

The first that failed in mine, spraying 100 shot and shifting at 6800, were the bearings; 1 rod and 1 main bearing.

 

so its really just the bearings, cause mine failed last year and i had to rebuild it. i think the number 8 cylinder is what spun.

 

so if you are doing a rebuild what bearings and rings are best.
