AU$6,750 (US$4800) for a brand new LS1 Chev crate motor. Stock unopened LS1s down here are making 335 HP at the rear wheels just with careful ECU remapping. That's about 420HP at the crank with the average 25% drivetrain loss. And this is all before even turning a wrench on the motor.

Just a change of cam can bump that figure to 470HP at the crank.

Cheers
