    I picked mine up from a totaled 05 h2 for $500, just the longblock and covers though. mine has ported 243 heads, tr224 cam.

    how much can you spend before you go broke?

    keep in mind the nubers on that test were at the flywheel with no accesories through a single plane carb intake.
    in any of our trucks it would be around 400 at the wheels.

    depends on what you are going for, you couldn't go much bigger then a 220 with only having the lq4 stock compression. a good cam would run around 350-400, not worth it if you're building an engine under 1k. you can pick up the zo6 cams and gmpp hotcam for pretty cheap with springs so I would stick with them.
