CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Low budget high hp motor build? I BROKE IT!

i am looking at doing the drop in rods and piston set up and plan on cranking it up over 1000hp. Here is the minimum plans.

Rod and piston kit
Cam, dod delete kit, springs, phase lock or limiter
Head studs

That’s about $4k. What am I missing? Patrick g is going to spec out a cam for me. It will have the 32% fuel lobe.

Are the lt4 head gaskets any better and do they work on an lt1? Do the valves in the heads need upgraded? Should I do main studs and can you just bolt them in without any machine work?
