Hey Guys,
I am starting the process of building my stock LS3 for boost (Specifically my Magnuson Heartbeat Supercharger). I know there is a lot of companies out there but i want to know what you all recommend or have installed in your twin screw/top mount/PD built motor setup.. I have gotten thus far in regards to a parts list.

-LS9 Head Gaskets
-ARP Head stud kit #234-4317
-ARP Main Studs #234-5608
-Callies 4.0 forged stroker crank (Dragon Slayer?)
-Callies 6.125 H beam connecting rods
-wiseco forged pistons (Which ones?)
-clevite main and rod bearing
-Lifters:1249925GM LS7/LS3 Lifter Set (16)
-Seals & Gaskets
-Rear Engine Cover & Main Seal Set

All advice helps.

Frankly talk to a professional, I know there are some down there and in so-cal I would go with some Racetec pistons, you may want to go to the regional threads to read old threads on places to go. Me I would just hand it off after buying a lot of parts to save on sales tax to my guy Tommy Wong he likes those supercharger installs.

Good Luck
