Teksid block bored .20 over, Diamond coated pistons, with 4v reliefs cut, (IF I STAY ON NITROUS!!! flat tops) Oliver billet rods, 4340 Coated and Balanced Crank, Federal Mogul HP series bearings, ARP 2000 main and head studs, Stainless rings filed to fit, MMR Hurricane billet oil pump Canton pan w/windage tray and pick up, Fox Lake Stage 3 ported heads, Titanium valvetrain parts, Fel Pro MLS head gaskets, Some custom intake work that can't be disclosed, Either custom ACmillr N/A Cams or Custom MPH Blower Cams It will be topped of with either a Pro Charger D-1SC and 3 row intercooler or a 2 stage Nitrous system.

Sounds like a stout setup, I was just posting that one as an example.

It's cool bro, I'm just happy that my shortblock is being built right now.

Boosted LS1/2's are safe at 550rwhp. At 600rwhp is the point when you are on borrored time. There have been alot of guys over on LS1tech and LS1gto that have been around the 650rwhp area for a while and just have their fingers crossed. With us we need a spot on tune and meth/alky since we have such high compression.

the only cobra that said to hit 1000 horse with stock internals is the one hellion compound boosted and they lied, they replaced the pistons, it wasnt compeltely stock

[Mustang RacR94]

like stated above 700 horse is in the safe range, the pistons are the really week part of those motors, but they are motors and other parts can go at any time even at just 600 horse, there tough but the motors are getting older and older

true that, i have to take care of my motor which is at 79k miles, i just bought it with 77k and the only mod done to it was a k&n fipk, i guess since it wasn't really modded, it has some life left in it,

[03snakeminated]

i didn't waste any time and the first mods i added were the head cooling mod and dual pass h/e, which i thik those are crusial to keep the iat temp down and longevity of the motor

that much power isn't even necessary is it lol

slicks would be beggin for mercy and if you can't put the power down, then what's the point.

So very true broham, if everything goes alright, I'll be the owner of a LS2 Goat, and a Mach 1

If he wouldn't have blown up his car you should have given him a run. You may have been surprised, especially if you can drive better than him.

Hell I've ran down a few cars that made more power than me. All were FI though, you put an N/A car making 500+rwhp against an FI 600+rwhp car and in that short distance that you race on the street unless it's a positive displacement blower the N?A car is going to be hard to real in.
