Default Need your edjukated guesses

Q1. If I had my LT1 heads ported and polished, added the LT4 hot cam, 1.6 rollers, corsas, and a cool air intake, how much HP would I gain?

Q2. Same as above, except with aftermarket heads?

You should get up to the typical LT4 hot cam motor which is 425 at the crank.

That's close to what I did to my 95 LT1 with the stock heads being ported and larger valves installed. I had it to the track only once before I tradded it on the GS and it went 12.3 first run. This was in a M6 car with 4:10s
