When I get the engine I may need some help from somewhere. My son hates working on cars. and Bonnie stays busy. Can't imagine here getting her prissy little hands dirty with grease anyway. That post of mine added that little dot and indented and I can not get rid of it so I just hit send and said **** it. lol |

I saw that too. But previously I was thinking 419. So prolly would have had to anyway. I'd rather have a 10.5 to 1 but this is a good price and set.

can't they swap in some other pistons to make it a little peppier out of boost?
it'd also require less pressure for the same power meaning spinning the blower slower, creating less heat, and you can run a larger pulley that will have less slip potential.

My blower does have some mile on it too. So maybe you're right. Take it easy on the blower and make more boost with less spin. Nice. Can't wait to see you again. |

PQ....this looks like an economical solution. My only question might be the cam specs....

Subsribed. Great to hear PQ that you are getting a engine.Look forward to reading updates. Decided to take car out for spin and broke the motor. In the same boat. Stopped by C5 for first time in months afterwards. Man there still is some great entertainment on some of these threads.Never met you guys and gals but sure would would like to make CFest this year. Torn between the LSX, LS7 and sell the Supercharger or the Storker ah Stroker. 416 417 418 LS3 whatever you call it. Best Wishes PQ.
