LT1 Cadillac
I have a 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham with the Chevrolet LT1 engine. In stock form, the engine produces 260 horsepower. Is it possible/feasible to build the engine for 350-400 horsepower? Any input and pointers would be greatly appreciated; I'm new to this horsepower building thing. Thanks!

I think so, but why? It'd still be pulling around a 2 plus ton barge.Duane S

Have you driven the car yet? If not LT1s are torque monsters even though a small block....It should push that caddy around pretty good...

Why not? I've driven the vehicle and think the torque is fine for most peoples purposes (330 ft-lbs.), but it's always my been my dream to hot rod a large Cadillac. What kinds of things boost the power on the LT1? Heads?

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
