pistons depends on the CC spec on them
for ever .5 CR loss or gain its roughly 15-20hp. more CR the more overall power, the less CR the less overall power.
i think at 10.1 youll be living on race fuel at 15lbs of boost or very low on timing.
give it a try and report back
why not just build the motor with 9.5 and put something like an LS6 cam in it or a GT2-3...then you will make 350ish rwhp NA and with 10psi would net you 500rwhp and with nice pistons and crap already being in there then if you got frossy you could turn up the boost to 20psi and not have to worry about it and hit 700-800rwhp
I think Im gonna go with that...Quote:

I was gonna get Dallas Performance to spec me a custom cam...what about running 2 different ones...one now without boost and then the custom cam for the boost? Any suggestions? Not sure if im gonna run a Vic Jr before the boost or not... If I decide to do that then Ill get my hands on one, but till I decide should I just run a truck intake? Uhhhhhhhh....not sure what size pistons Im gonna need yet....have to have the machine shop help me with finding some. What else?
Ok so I talked to Scoggin Dickeys this afternoon...they want $1230 for a GM replacement crank...looks like I'm gonna be searching more. I didn't ask them about rods tho...damn it! I think I will call again tomorrow.
I was also entertaining the idea of going with L92 heads and the GMPP L92 Vic Jr style intake. How would this set up work out with boost?
dammit, that's pricey.
Call these guys, they can get you a good crank or one that will clean up .010/.010 Bishop International, Inc.
got a buddy that has a 04 crank for like 150bucksQuote:
