I know you've received a couple good posts from Frederick and David, but...

What about Supercharging? There are some very nice kits available for the
LT1. I think a Vortech T-Trim with Aftercooler would fit the bill. Of
course, you need new pistons, head work, and blower cam, but there's guys
running *emissions legal* 500+ rwhp with these superchargers.

Shoot, they had a 725 hp SC LT1 in an issue of GM High Tech Performance not
long ago. The owner hangs out at the Camaro forum at
http://www.autoforums.com (Ask for George). ;) Of course, he's thrown a LOT
of money at that car...

All it really takes is money, I guess...
