Are you looking for someone to build it for you? Otherwise if you are looking for just advice so you can build it yourself, might want to try LT1 forums. http://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-modifications-31/

LT1's are pretty easy to build, I've done it myself a couple of times on my Camaro. What exactly are you looking to do to the LT1, other than just building it.

different heads maybe
different cam
pistons & rods combo
and etc.
basically i'd like to build it to handle little bit of juice on the side. or trying to make 11sec lt lol.

A stock LT1 can almost safely handle a 150 shot of nitrous, I've heard of 200 shot being used but why?

Well for cam wise you can go with a custom grind, Comp Cams 305, 306 or a 503 like mine (more streetable), GM847 cam. There are plenty to choose from.

heads there are a few out there, it just depends what you want so do your homework.
I've heard some good things about SCAT and their setups, for rods and what not.

If your looking to have a boosted motor (95 TA The Beast) could help you out and point you in the right direction, but he is a busy guy so he might not get back to you right away.
There is Ron (JuicedImpSS) who is working on his turbo setup, he could build you a motor that you want and what not. If you want a cage, he can fab and install a cage. (I've seen his work and I think he is NHRA certified too?)

Let's not forget also that you are going to need a Stall for the transmission and you might as well upgrade the 10 bolt while your at it. Get some sticky tires and a good launch and you just might snap it.

Are you looking into turning the LT1 into a stroker?

thanks for your knowledge bud.
I have no intention to stroke this motor since it's going to be more of street driven car and some times weekend warrior at our local track.
i was reading some of lt1 builds on ls1tech, i think mild built motor with some NOS would get the job done. but hey i'm still new to v8... lol
I will be calling you shortly mr. ron.

i believe one of the fastest LT1 in the area e.t. wise is a 4000lb Impala SS once owned by Ron at Clocks Off Racing. Wonder what it would have done in a 1000lb lighter F-body :)
