, I was on my phone. I had started to quote everyone and then screwed it up. hahaha

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.

Yup, I thought about that but I do not see an option for that. If I were going to go 419 normal compression I'd think it would be almost the same as 376 with lower?

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.

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

Yup. And a swap would be easy enough on the stand in the garage but then I lose money. haha

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.

Gah............ sux to hear that.

It's not easy deciding and configuring an engine direction. Especially on a tighter budget all of a sudden. Ugh..........
