4.000" Callies 4340 forged steel crankshaft,
6.125" Manley 4340 forged steel H-beam rods,
4.000" Manley 2618 forged alloy pistons...
11:1 compression ratio just like the LS7 motor
GM LS2 aluminum 6.0 liter block

$4100 quoted by LG Motorsports, they are the shop i use for all my mods..
but 2k labor, so 1500 to take shit apart and another 500 to put new motor on, they included a free G5X3 custom grind cam (made by LG) just had to pay 800 for spring and the whole set of accessories that come with the cam, but the 450+labor to put the cam on was deducted.
they said with a tune i should be 450rwhp with stock heads for now..
tranny to be built up, the new heads = 500rwhp next year after house purchase in Nov..

[djvaly]

here's my mods so far, full bolts on pretty much,,

[Mr. Luos]

Not bad at all.
LG motorsports is good too.

You will love it.

[Mr. Luos]

Thing will scream.

Traction will be an issue.
Which is a good thing.
You will have to work on getting it to the ground though.

[Mr. Luos]

450 RWHP on the stock heads might be a little much with an auto.

Should be close though.

true that, the tq arms a must like u said, then some good nittos tires, wider on the back...

[Mr. Luos]

Street tires will become worthless.

Torque is fun

[Mr. Luos]

Any idea what the specs on that cam are??

they said it will hold just not to beat it too much. planning to stall it and built the tranny anyways.. so other that tq converter (stall) what can I do to the tranny to build it up? what does that take and/or cost?
