ahhh ok, nevermind

I don't know the price for a heads, valvetrain, cam build for a LS1 is...for a 3.8 it's around $2,500 for a competitive setup

IMO, if you want a streetable 450HP go for a supercharger and a good tune. You can make the same power or even more with a normally aspirated engine, but now you wind up with an engine that is basically a PIA in normal street driving.

Cheapest way to go faster without a doubt, nitrous & slicks or drag radials. Keep in mind any LS1 stock makes or is close to 350 at the crank, add 100 shot and some tires and you have a 12 second car easy.
