unless u have a ported head, i would not get that jg intake manifold. it will make you lose mid range power.
with a built block, i dont see why u cant hit 350. if a stock LS motor can make 300 at like 13-14 psi, i dont see why it cant make 350.
get the head ported while u have the valve train put it, it can make easily 30-50 hp.
good luck

u can just install pistons and rods in a stock B18b block, and get some valvetrain in the head and u can make 400........ without sleeves

Talk to Josh over at Raceline. They are one of our dealers and have done a lot of business with us. We are very close and would love to help with the engine.

Re: (ReDHaTcHy97)
you could wait and do the head later, i mean 8 bolts and its off....
but it would probably be easier and cheaper to do it all at once

yes. There is no need to drop that low to get good power, you'll tend to lose off boost response when you go down in compression that low. W/ the right turbo, stock compression (or even slightly higher) will do MORE than the trick

If you plan on swapping heads, it may be more effective to throw on a B16 head as opposed to finding another LS block and putting in more funds to build the LS head. for better response levels for it, stock compression (9.2:1) or slightly higher to even 9.5:1 with VERY good tuning, combined with the right turbo will give EXCELLENT response for a hybrid LS/VTEC street car.

Yeah, because he's going to notice a half a point in compression on the street
The off boost response argument is whack, especially after seeing the car Evans tuned that lost a <FONT SIZE="4"><FONT COLOR="pink">WHOPPING</FONT></FONT> 1-2 WHP off boost going from 9:1 to 10:1.

And I'm sorry but this is the most hilarious and dumb thing at the same time I've ever read. You're going to put BILLET rods in your motor with forged pistons and replace what is arguably the strongest part in the entire motor, the crankshaft, but you're not going to fix one of the weaker links in the sleeves? Good lord.

Im using my money as best as i can. If you want to pay for my sleeves and my motor be my guest. If you price together how much it is to balance, blueprint and knife edge the crank its almost cheaper to buy a 4340 crank. The b20 was just an idea cause i found one for cheap.

How the hell do you figure that? For one you really don't need to knife edge a crank, it really isn't worth anything on a turbo car, and two if your machine shop charges more than about 150 dollars for balancing a 4-cylinder motor dig out the KY because you're getting fucked. You still need to get a forged aftermarket crank balanced for your rotating assembly, so how in the world do you figure you're saving any money by spending 650 dollars on a crank that still needs balancing? That's a few hundred less than you would spend on sleeving, probably works out to be about the same if you get it sleeved at Exospeed.
