money is no problem i wanna go all out, im just looking to go crazy and see what beast i can produce and i want opinions on what you all think are the best performance mods out there. links to websites, lists and anything like that are greatly appreciated. Im thinking pistons and rings, push rods, roller rockers, twin throttle body and manifold? supercharger possibly, a good grind camshaft, lifters, valve springs, billet fuel rails, fuel injectors etc. i have an idea of what brands and everything just keen to know what everyone thinks is the best and what other things i can work on/add that Ive missed. The more info the better and everyone's input is appreciated cheers!

moved thread to the correct section, where you will actually find many threads with varying info that you're after

LSx Development and Modification

decide what you want to do with the car, as opposed to just throwing money at it.

Since money is no object take it to a well known tuner in your area, or even a race car builder, give them a spec of what you want to do with the car, a time frame, and remind them you have an unlimited budget and boom! All done.

Money no issue:
Why stay 5.7?
Why just 1?

You forgot heads, throw heaps of money at good heads.
But as said, plan it well and build complementary parts together with a final goal set in stone.

This is the million dollar question.

We could tell you to forge it, stroke it tub it with with 15" wide rear tyres, cut a hole in your bonnet and run a 14/71 supercharger ontop as an example. But that's no good if you want to drive it to work lol.

So what do you want to use it for and what do you mean by all out?

approx budget and intended usage would be a good start, btw most people don't bother with changing rockers on LS engines these days apart from those running >.650 lift cams.
