I mean, is it really … _that_ easy? Take a cam out, stick another in, instant like, 40HP? Let’s say, I find an LS1 out of a 98’ Camaro SS - and I want to make power out of it for cheap, besides the bolt ons, cam would be the best bang for the buck eh? ---

Well, an exhaust is going to be pretty freakin’ free flowing, I think FCs are a bunch shorter than an Fbod also. I am not looking for anything in particular, just some more power all over. Not drag, not anything crazy. 350HP would be great in a car that weighed less than 3K lbs with me in it. Guys with stock LS1s in FCs tick off mid 12s at 113ish. That’s pretty good lol ---
