What do you want out of the car?

Auto or manual?

The LS1s are fairly doughy off the line so you're going to want diff gears, if its an auto you're going to need a high stall. If its an auto you're also going to have to prepare for it to blow into a billion pieces as soon as you put the foot down.

Wow.... firstly, grammer & punctuation, ever heard of this???

Secondly what's your budget?

You can get some serious power gains with FI(Turbo/Supercharger) but don't expect much cash back from $10-15K for a good system and depending on how much boost you run the engine will NOT last long... let alone the gearbox/clutch/diff will suffer as well.

N/A(Normally Aspirated) you will be looking at TC(Turbo Killer) type cam and the associated head/exhaust/clutch/diff gear changes that coul push you to the >320-330rwkw... again >$10K would be the cost.

Budget unlimited... LSx iron block, custom build from the gorund up and go nuts with FI + all the other thing associated with high HP cars >$50K.

Just my 2c... Good Luck
