going from a cammed ls3 to a stock lt1. i know its a better engine to build, once it gets going.

probably gonna need a few bolt ons and e85 to get back to 480whp range??
Better engine to build is subjective. Personally, I believe the LS3 is easier AND cheaper to build than an LT1. Go get quotes on a heads and cam package for a gen 5, then a gen 6. If you really want to see a difference, go price out an 800 hp capable fuel system on each car and get ready to be shocked.

I'd take an ls3 gen6 if GM would have ever offered it, LS3 is much cheaper to modify.
