Hey all, I have been considering just bumping the HP in my LT1 a little bit rather than using a turbocharger or supercharger. What heads and cam would you recommend for a weekend warrior street car that will up my power yet retain street manners? What about full tube headers? The exhaust will have to be custom made as I have a C3. What kind of power can I expect without going into the engine? Any other suggestions? Thanks for the help!
 
AFR heads

Last Ride,
As far as I am concerned the best Heads on the market for the LT 1 are the Air Flow Research (AFR) 190 heads, they have the best flow rate across the board. As far as a cam I would go with the GM Hot Cam Kit, includes valve springs, caps and retainers.
Check out AirFlowResearch.com, you can order a catalog from them for free, you can compare there flow rates to other heads right on there web site.

Hooker longtubes, LT4 Hotcam, and have the stock heads ported

no need for the AFRs until you go with a 383+ or other radical setup
