B15 ?
Last try.
LSX B8- List from chevy for $7420 MSRP, can be bought for 56-5800 from volume parts house. - no forged crank or H beam rods. Less reliability on the internals. LSX Block, supports 1000 plus HP. (make any sense?) Most performance shops forged short block- ~$5500, fully forged internals. This is a bit like the lawyer I saw in the local computer shop that was explained by the tech there that purchasing a new computer would be cheaper and faster than fixing the outdated one she had. She said "fix my old one that's what I want". The Tech replied, you want me to charge you more money to give you a slower, less reliable computer. The woman, a practicing lawyer replied "yes". Like someone told me "if you want a good warranty? Leave it stock." All you can do is try. Last edited by UNRIVALED SS; 04-22-2016 at 09:14 PM. Reason: can`t type |

i never got the point of the b8 either as far as the internals, you could just forge your ls3 for way less, but i do understand how you feel about the warranty tho

Cost me less than 2700 bucks to do everything but the crank, and I mean basically everything.
Cp Pistons Callies hbeam rods ACI coated race bearings Cam bearings Head studs Cam bolts Balancer bolt Main studs High volume oil pump Ls2 damper C5r timing chain Trunion upgrade All cover seals and gaskets Ls9 head gaskets Cadillac racing lifters That engine will hold some power, more than my clutch will hold and fuel supply will give. I'll just maintain a certain level of boost until I change those items. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My goal is not big power numbers. It's simplistic reliability. Car is a Dailey. I wasn't putting the blower on for big power. But to only balance the power of the car. With the handling capability of the 1LE. Handling wise. It is capable of much more than I will likely ever be able to harness. 420rwhp. Not so much. That's why I had picked out the simplest lowest stress boost setup. Nothing crazy. Just happen to be the sad sap example to blow it up

Booooom connecting rod wanted a divorce
You just want reliability and something you can depend on, right? Same with me, and it didn't cost much at all.
Just because you have an engine capable of 1200 whp doesnt mean that you are going to get 1200, you give fuel and air then Spark, just control how much you give it and limit your power so that you don't wear those components out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was referring to parts, and I am the average joe.
Brian tooley Summit racing Those were the majority sourced parts Pistons were bought from Carrillo and rods from callies Tsp has packages priced similar, the trick is to be patient and look for the deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update
Apparently GM heard my opinions. I couldn`t help noticing that although many venders still have the B8 on their shelves, GM has discontinued this version of the engine.
I really expect to see a more robust connecting rod associated with an engine built with a forged piston. Due to the weight of the piston. Let`s see what happens. |
