Can the LT1 make good power?

Can the LT1 make good power?
Hey guys this may be a stupid question, but what kind of power can I expect out of an LT1 with some upgrades such as headers, catback, and maybe a cam? An intake too, thats sort of assumed though.
I hear LT1s dont respond as well to mods as the LS1. Any truth in this?
The reason I am asking is I want to get my car ready for the summer, I plan on taking it drag racing at the local strip. I want to be ready because the car is stock right now.
Thanks!

stock = 230-250rwhp
basic bolt ons=285-305rwhp
cam = 310-360rwhp
H/C = 380=440rwhp
h/solid roller = 500rwhp
those are very general numbers to give you an idea of what can be done. Lt1's respond just as well to mods as LS1's aside from cam swaps, but respond very well when you mess with the heads as well as the cam.

Can the bottom end handle all that power, say if I put on new heads and a cam, with all the regular bolt ons?

You can go as fast as your money will take you. Bear in mind though, that things break when you bang on them.
But the first thing you need to decide is just how fast do you want to go?
And how much money do you have to spend?
Priorities man!

I’ve got an 11 second LT street car (N/A) and I spent some money to get it there. However, my kids are all grown and I’m back in my teens (car wise) for a second time.
