Im sorry. some of it is just comical. 500 RWHP on your stock little 346 CI will be a radical big cammed, FULL bolt on, high RPM screamer.

Your asking for your cake, and you wanna eat it too. Your goals are to have low end power and have 500 RWHP on a 346. Those dont go hand and hand usually. Forced inductiong might be for you. A cammed/ GREAT ported head 346 is big money. And there is zero reason to put a forged rotating assembly in a NA 346.

The

and cutting the screen out of the maf sensor would do this

made me laugh. Thats getting old, and I think we have covered that a few times here.

People go to bigger cubes for a reason. Big horsepower, and big torque.... Down low.

Your looking at at least 2600 bucks for a great fully assembled head

1300 for a decent cam package

Electric water pump probably 600-700

1200 for a FAST 92/92 (new)

500 for tune

600-700 in misc at least

Full exhuast, no BS cheapo x pipe's or anything. You need a great exhuast.

Light wieght rotating assembly? How about strong? If your going to light something up in that engine, stick to the valvetrain.

Add a few hundred more USD's to that list at least. Thats off the top of my head


In other words....


Pick a ET time in the 1/8, 1/4 mile you want and hit that instead.

if you're look for 500hp there are a few ways to go about it... full bolt ons with a large shot of N20... full bolt ons and supercharger/turbo... very large cam with a very good set of heads and bolt ons... etc etc...

[allbaugh_04]

yep pretty much, just depends on how you want to do it, all N/A is a bit pricey with the 346

goood luck buddy...just get a stroker and be done with it

I understand, and Im sorry if I came off as I was flaming you for it. My bad. Notice, thats not the only thing I said up there. Just one little line that caught your eye instead of any of the other help we gave you. Hopefully you can take this and start thinking which way you want to go.

Leave your motor alone go out and buy a nitrous kit and viola 500rwhp.....just not gunna make any promises on how long it'll last.....and don't worry....you'll have power on demand!

You will have $5000+ in a n/a LS1 making 500rwhp. For that kind of money, I'd go with a low boost blower and matching cam to make a little less but realiable HP.

trash the ls1 and build a 400"+ stroker........ just be sure to leave the screen in the MAF
