So could somone please tell me some mods to make 350-400 hp in an Lt-1? I''m new to the camaro scene so I''m in need of some help. Came from a four banger scene wanting to have a muscle car since I live in America, lol. I like gasoline way better than rice!!!! Thanks.

Go and read the "Basic Modification: Where to start Modding" Sticky at the top of the 4th gen section, that should get you started. To hit 350-400 RWHP you''re going to have to get a new top end (heads, cam, valve train), but you''ll need all the basic bolt-ons first.

Well I''d like to get it to the road but I could live with that power at the crank. And also just a few more questions, my car is and auto and I found a 6 speed for it..... is the swap easy? And thanks for the re-direct, I didn''t really look around the site before I asked. Thanks!

Simple answer: No, the swap isn''t easy, most people go with the "don''t waste your time" route in trying to do that swap.

300 HP at the crank is easy, all that''s going to take is a good aftermarket (Moroso or K&N) Cold Air intake and an aftermarket cat-back exhaust. If you decide to throw headers on it you''ll be well above 300 crank HP.
