For example, if you can produce...

Well, all BS aside, we'd love to have the opportunity to tune your car for you. We tune a relatively low volume of cars but we do that only because we spend a lot of time getting it right the first...

The aftermarket cranks are a pretty good deal compared to what you pay for reusing a stock crank, especially for the blower cars.

The stock crank will be light on the counterweights for a forged...

You would need to take out roughly 10cc out of the chamber to get up to 10:1, which is kind of a lot. By the time you do that, considering the labor, machining costs, new gaskets and bolts, etc you...

I would prefer a sleeved block instead of the LSX block. I like the LSX a lot, but I was disappointed with the length of the cylinders in the standard deck blocks. The cylinder length is a big...

I would consider valve springs at least. It doesn't seem mandatory, as it looks like the LSA springs are designed to .570" lift and the LS9 cam is .562", but a se of PAC beehives wouldn't hurt for a...

You can't bore an LS3 to 427ci. You would either have to hone it to 4.070' bore and use a 4.10" crank, or sleeve the block and then you can go to a 4.125" bore and use a 4" crank. Either way, you...
