Re-built LS block with these components

Eagle Rods
JE/SRP 9:1 pistons
Z10 block girdle
Crower '403s, springs, retainers

Balanced out

Any opinoins, or tip welcome. I"m lookiing to run 8K and boost around 15~18lbs. Thanx all

 

8000 sounds about right........the cams probably wont make much more power above that.

 

hmm, nice, wonder how much all that will cost. I think i'm gonna try and find a spare LS block. That way I'll have minimal down time when i'm done building. Guess I ought to max out my current set-up before I look at going to the next level. I'm only running 6lbs right now......

 

if you are looking to boost that much, i hope you are planing to sleave the block, also, i don't think the crower 403s will work well with a turbo, you need to go with a turbo specfic grind

 

hmmmm......I may block guard it, dunno yet, this is future planning. Sleeving is expansive. I doubt i'm going to run high enough boost to make the sleeves worth the money. As long as I keep my Zdyne tuned in check, I shouldn't have to worry about sleeving. You only crack sleeves if you're detonating..........

I mean running a Zdyned, 15lbs boostin, 8k twistin LS in an 1800 lbd car will be by no means slow. Hell it runs low 13's as it is. I"m looking for low 12's or solid 11's. I'd be happy with that.

My suspension is stock(and blown) i'm sure if I get some decent suspension, and bump the boost up to 12 psi i'll be content.....

 

If you want to rev high you should change out the crank. With the b18b's rod stroke ratio its going to be putting a lot of wear on the engine revving that high.
