What hp numbers would i most likely come out with around 10-12 lbs of boost.

 

It is hard to say. I have a sc61 ls-vt and 8psi made 300. I forgot the other numbers cause I was having so many problems which are fixed now. I need to re dyno one day.

I will tell you one thing right now ditch that Ls transmission. Get a b16 or Gsr. Night and day difference from ls to gsr.

 

how high could i rev with that setup? The head will stay stock for a while but will be upgraded with cams, springs, and retainers in teh near future.

would lets say 300 whp with like a 8000 rpm redline be a safe, reliable goal on the stock head and stock sleeves and other parts listed. I understand tuning is key.

The rotating assembly withh be balanced.

 

...

 

i go to 8400 no problem. I have gsr cams springs & retainers. I might be able to go higher who knows.

 

You would have to get it on the dyno to see how high you can rev...only way i see it

 

what pistons you running?

 

cp

 

b16 or b18 vtec head? you used ls spec pistons tho right?

 

would it be a bad idea to run my ls-vtec prepped for turbo, (pistons, possibly turbo cams) without the turbo on? I want to build teh motor, run it for a while and then save up a bit of cash and do the turbo setup. What are the disadvantages of doing this? Will i be losing a lot fo power? What numbers shouldl i expect on a non turbo ls/vtec prepped for turbo.

The #'s wont be that great since your runing such a low c/r. But you shouldn't have any problems, just make sure you tune it for allmotor then retune it for turbo.
