HELP 600 hp lq9

FFS. Still: Cam and a Procharger.

I am just saying if it is a 454 everyone is wasting their time recommending cams and heads.

I stand by my original statement. 600hp from a 454 isn’t budget friendly imo. 600 ft/lbs is a different story, but it would be nice if he popped back in. Otherwise, we are going to figure out all kinds of ways to spend his money 😉


Mike, budget an LS are a tall order. Budget and Procharger………….it’s like the fat kid in the candy store- never enough candy.

Stock junkyard pull out with cam and springs, with a 200 shot of Señior Giggle

The words 600hp and budget were an oxymoron to begin with. I looked at it is as: OP wants 600hp so OP has a budget to support his appetite.

Not: OP is a cheap and delusional sh*tbird tire kicker on a KD budget dreaming, and wasting people's time in the process, between wipes on the sh*tter and cannabis vape drags.

You would be better served by asking this question on LS1tech.com. In my opinion, 600 HP at the wheels would be difficult to do on a budget and would require some expensive hardware. For 600rwhp NA you will need high rpm, a performance intake, good aftermarket heads (400cfm+) roller rockers, correct valve springs and headers. You will spend a lot of money. plus injectors, tuning and possibly a fuel pump. If you really need that power level then going with a turbo would be the most cost effective. 400-450 rwhp is much more feasible. Why do you think you need 600? The chassis on your G body will not handle that power level without big modifications.

So what do you think the max rwhp is that a stock Gbody frame can handle with new poly body mounts and just basic chassis reinforcements like ones from UMI?

800-900 whp, 1000-1100 crank with UMI bars in rear, rear control arm reinforcement and a trans crossmember that contacts in 3 locations rather than the factory two.

^^this was my son's car for about 3 years. Very little track time, but would run mid 130's launching soft with the foot brake.


What's the max? Can't say, but a G is not like a flimsy F-body or a Mustang. If the body mounts are good and you can keep the rear axle in place, then they will take a bunch without damaging anything.

This right here. These people who ask this crap and don't chime back in I call askholes, purely are here to waste people's time. Probably too busy trying to procreate with their siblings. My props to those of you that take the time to respond for no reason.

They are Russian trolls just trying to make us argue over the McRib and how many nuclear power plants are required to convert 50% of the personal vehicles on the continent to electric.

Define "handle"? You want to hook and book? You want to do Youtube burnout videos?

The best question is what is what you want to do in a G-body chassis?

Pick HP, pick transmission, pick driveshaft, pick rear axle. Which one will be the weak link?

G-body 7.5" axle always wins.

Eliminate the axle and work through the rest, the G-body chassis is not the weak link despite what the internet says.

Do you want to eliminate the "G-body shuffle" if you're drag racing? An actual frame mounted anti-roll bar gets rid of that.

Of course I've been drinking and interneting so....

Wraith has hit on all of the important questions.


E84MC can you answer Wraith's questions? Burnouts, G-body shuffle - let me know if you want some pics and vids 😉 . FWIW, the G-body shuffle is definitely not helping anyone's time slip, but OMG is it fun when the car twists up a foot +
