Take a stock LS1, bore it plus .010", add ARP bolts/studs to the stock rods, mains and heads, put forged pistons in it with increased pocket sizes in the pistons to drop compression or add 317 casting 6.0L heads to drop the compression. Run 10+ lbs of boost and you'll be easily 500+ hp at the rears. Talk to Billy or Allen and they can put you together a game plan.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(RedHeartbeat @ Dec 31 2006, 11:40 AM) [snapback]77886[/snapback]</div>That sounds good, not too overly complicated. What are good forged piston brands and such in your opinion, i really dont know because I did a internet search and get thousands of possibilities from a ton of different places. Will this engine run ok on the lower compression without the turbo for a while, or should i wait till i have it all to install it? Also, with this setup and proper maintenance how many miles do you think the engine would last, if possible i would like this setup to last 100k miles if possible and have it get me through college, but if not i guess thats ok. Its going to be my daily driver so im not going to be racing it everyday, but occasionally i may take it to the track. Thank you for all your help, its greatly appreciated.Take a stock LS1, bore it plus .010", add ARP bolts/studs to the stock rods, mains and heads, put forged pistons in it with increased pocket sizes in the pistons to drop compression or add 317 casting 6.0L heads to drop the compression.
