ok well i have an ls motor and eventually plan on turboing it, but i was thinking of building the head some, not totally sure with what i want to do, was thinking like new valves,springs and retainers and like port match on the exhuast side, but would it be a bad idea to build the head and not the bottom end? would anny1 recogmend adding something in or something not to do? looking for opinions

 

for boost I would worry about building the bottom first.

 

ok so upgrade pistons/rods and replace bearings?

you forgot to add sleeves to that list of yours

 

im only looking to run 7-8psi
prolly like 200hp? maybe 250 down the road, im not looking to go crazy

 

then why build the motor at all??

 

that's the thing i don't get sometimes, you spend all that money and just wanna make 250 or 300whp which is very easy

 

if ur gunna build, start at the bottom and work up...but if ur only going for 250 then why even bother...

 

well im just loking for something that is going to be reliable at the same time, but i guess i can get that with good tuning, i just need ot piece together a turbo kit now

Yep, if you're gonna run into problems related to boost, its gonna be in the bottom end
