My engine has forged pistons and rods with ARP 2000 hardware. Stock heads with Teds cam and valvetrain. Races on 104. Currently it makes 732 rwhp but once I can get traction Ill start to up that a little. At one point Id like to have 800 rwhp. My set up is far from some of the things guys are doing but it has worked for me!! |

It was the LSX crank,i wasnt to happy since i bought the crate motor for peace of mind. On a side note a 9-1 motor is a 9-1 motor the block doesnt add any power Also the company that makes the crank and rods for the LSX motors rate them at 750 flywheel,another fact i wasnt to happy with

The stock crank will be light on the counterweights for a forged rod and piston combo, so it would need heavy metal installed to balance out. Not to mention that they are not keyed for a supercharger, so you would have to pay to either key it in a mill at the machine shop (which is the best way) or have it "pinned", which has it's own problems for sure. The aftermarket cranks will have the heavy metal installed and are really close to what most forged piston and rod combos will weigh and won't even need any more heavy metal when you have it balanced. They are also already keyed all the way up the snout for the keyed balancers for supercharged cars. In the end, you have paid almost just as much for a stock crank, and you're still down 40 cubic inches. |

For builders who want to stretch the performance of a turbocharged or supercharged combination, we’ve got just the foundation you need: Chevrolet Performance’s new LSX376-B15, featuring a durable, all forged rotating assembly to handle up to 15 pounds of boost. Chevrolet Performance’s engineers started with the tough LS steel Bowtie standard-deck block, added a forged steel crankshaft, forged rods and forged pistons, then topped off the short-block assembly with high-flow, rectangular-port LSX- LS3 6-bolt aluminum heads for supercharged and turbocharged combinations. That's from the GMPP catalog this year, the B15 is a completely different motor than what most people think. Most people are still thinking of the B8. |

with them more than once at SEMA (nov 2012) about this engine and it's rod bolts,pistons,heads,camshaft profile....etc. They went through many different ring packs on this engine to ensure it would do as advertised.I have plenty of confidence. With a warranty! |

What I wonder is how much power I'm going to loose going to this motor with the compression ratio from a stock LS3 |

Maybe 40hp tops is all you're gonna lose.

I was looking at the B15 strongly or buying a shortblock from TSP. I'm up in the air but the stock stuff is taking a beating so far so I'll keep it moving. |
