    yeah, if I were to do lifters again I want to do the Cadillac lightweight lifters. SDPARTS has them, too. Great price for them as I remember. I have the 850-16 Comp lifters and they sound just as noisy as all three set of stock lifters I've run.

    Would this be for a N/A setup or for boost?

    Basically the pistons would have to be dished for boost? any pn#'s for those? or a setup list like this for a 6.0L boost build?

    Thanks

    just talk to who ever you buy ur stuff from, notice what was listed though "Wiseco 8cc LS1 2618 Pistons (11 to 1 w/ 66cc) " 11:1 thats easily changed, most suggest 9-9.5 cr for boost im going 8.5 though but thats just me, basically u want a bigger dish and or a larger cc on ur heads im doing 72cc and -28cc i think are my pistons, the cranks listed are for a 408, 402, 418(418 4in crank not 4.1) I have diamond pistons custom speced from texas speed

    its just a general parts list, yes it has specific part numbers and such, but it gives you an idea of what all u need, if ur looking at a forged 347 ignore the part numbers and stuff just know you need all those parts in some shape or form
