<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(RedHeartbeat @ Jul 4 2006, 01:06 PM) [snapback]57124[/snapback]</div>i would assume that you wouldn't need a 408 shortblock at all...on the stock lq9 i was thinking a nice heads/cam/intake package will get ya really close...(within 15 hp) the 225cc AFR heads, a FAST or LS6 intake, a custom cam, and a really good street tune...i've seen it done on stock displacement LS1's alreayd, and figured it would be just as easy, if not easier, with the larger displacement of the LQ9...Well, name the parts to achieve 500 RWHP naturally aspirated. 408 shortblock, ARP225 mongoose heads ported and polished, long tube headers, Victor Jr intake, Fuel rails, 60# injectors, fuel elbow, throttle body, external fuel pump(aeromotive type), electric street model water pump....what am I missing here?
What would the dollar figures be to buy all that?
