Oh yes I'm actually looking forward to doing it lol. I like to weld. Makes me constantly improve. Sold my entire turbo system to a local friend with a trans am. Got some thinking to do but I may change my entire plan. With the baby coming and my cage to install I will have some time to think. But I got a pretty good idea. Just not gonna speak now and get a back and forth game going on here lol.

Best way I've found with thicker stuff is get your amps not to hot and get the puddle going and dip the rod to control the cup. Just hold it wide open. Tried it the other day. Really pretty lol.

I have a hard time putting it into words lol. Basically get the puddle going fast and get moving lol. But I found once your moving you can hold it at one steady amperage and walk to puddle without pulsing the amperage. Maybe more clear on what I mean now lol?

Yup makes more sense now, haha. You will have fun with it. Days and days of it, but it will really teach you some things! I would also recommend getting a litte long narrow special cup for the torch that is designed to get into tight places. Pretty cheap and can help a ton.

I spoke to forced inductions this morning. The decision has been made. Im remaining small cube. (5.3, or 5.7 iron)
Ordered Twin s366's. They are t4 with 73mm turbine. Together they said they a capable of 1700 flywheel. So looks like ill be pushing the ls iron block to the limits. Not sure if im gonna go 5.7 or stay 5.3 for the block integrity. But the best rods/crank/pistons will be in there. Most likely dragon slayer crank and ultra rods as Tick suggested.

I just want it to have all the power capability I want plus the added plus of the showoff factor lol. Not gonna turn them sideways like your usually setups. Gonna stick with my forward facing idea but now that twins are in the plan it may make fitment of radiator and things actually a little easier. It will be a while before any of the fab work starts in the engine bay. Gotta get the engine itself first and it may be a while on that. Like I said ill get things purchased as I can but im in no big hurry.

What are you looking to push HP wise? If it is over 1100 at the wheel then get ready to fork over some serious money on a engine if you plan n doing everything right. Ask me how I know...
The cost and selection in parts for a build over 1-1100 rwhp really goes up drastically. All of the little stuff will dime you to death.

Yeah my limit will probably be 1100-1200 pushing it through auto. I know the stock block can only take so much but then again it wont be driven but once every two or three weeks on short trips and several track visits a year for fun. Its not a full time race car. But I want a rotating assembly that will hold up is why ill probably go the route I said earlier. Maybe half fill the block as well. Just have to have a good oil cooler and radiator setup. Plans may change you know how it goes. May find someone that's lost their butt on a lsx setup and ****** it up. Its hard to say what might happen.
