Default Most powerful Ls1/6

Hey I am just wondering what is the most power anyone has heard of anyone putting to the ground in an ls1/6 NATURALLY ASPIRATED? Strokers and what not included...

What makes it an LS1 or LS6? Is it acceptible to change the heads? How about the valvetrain, intake manifold, pistons, rods, crank, and cam? Are any mods other than the block acceptible?

I made 415 RWHP with LS6 heads and cam. Carteks are putting down 440-450 RWHP.

I got a little more than that ;) . The sig says it all. My cartek rev2 x package put down 472.3rwhp and 422.3 rwtq. That is with a stock bottom end, 4.10 gears, and a full exhaust with mufflers. I think these are the highest numbers for a 346 out there but we are not done yet. I may try a set of TPIS headers to see if the backpressure from a small set will help a 346. :cheers:

Try 528 RWHP and 520 RWT, and yes, it's a Cartek product (Stage 4 C5R 427, pump gas, mufflers, no cats, MN6, 3.42).

Good numbers from your 422 but that is not what he asked. I find it hard to believe people only read half the post. It clearly said no strokers and such.

But you did clearly say strokers not included. Maybe change your first post to make it a little more clear. :smash:

Funny, I didn't have any problem understanding him, but English is a tough language.
