LS turbo build up, stock block question
How much HP will the stock bottom end of a B18A1 with ARP rodbolts be good for? I want 200-225HP for a decent price without dropping $$$$ on building the bottom end.

You don't need to do anything to the motor except to make sure it has good compression. Do a search on LS Turbo or look at the huge LS Turbo thread and you'll see plenty of people making 300 whp on 100% stock long blocks.

You have very attainable goals, but dont listen to people who give you goals in terms of PSI. That's a totally irrelevant measure. The safe range for your stock bottom end is ~300whp. Stay under that with a good tune and you'll be just fine
