As I think about your build a little more, I'm not sure it's worth going any bigger than the 54/57's because you are on stock aluminum block. In the last year or two it seems like we've seen a lot of LS3 block failures on cars in that 1000+wtq area. It may be hit or miss but bottom line is the LS3 block is not going to be a sure thing with any more power than the 54/57's can put out.
The iron truck blocks with ARP main studs seem to be reliable for a couple hundred more HP. And then anything over that has to be LSX.
I just built my engine, before you guys really started marketing. If I could do it over, I think I would've gone TT. I'd love to see what these would do on my motor, especially with the Haltech controlling it.
