It would be the wrong way to go if you're LS1 is running well. Just get regular stage II heads/cam & you'll make more hp. The only time I'd get a LS6 is if I blew up my LS1. Then you'd just have to port/polish the heads & get a larger cam.

Eh, as stated.. you don't need LS6's at all. The LS1's will make up to ~470rwhp on a stock shortblock without a big cam. If you know what you're doing anyway .

LT1's arent hard to get over 400rw either with LT1's if your shortblock is in good condition . Obviously, they arent as easy to get the power out of as the LSx series by design.

If you dont make over 420rw with heads/cam LS1 cars, then your stuff is garbage.

Talking

but if you buy a set of fully ported LS6 heads it'll will make more power than fully ported LS1 heads.
