I am trying to plan a boosted setup for my car next year. How much could I expect to pay for a well built, boost ready short block (stock cubes)?

I am looking at the KYTP turbo setup, I would probably be running 13-14lbs of boost.

prob about 4 grand after tax... rough guestimate

I was actually looking at TSP. Who builds their short blocks? LME?

It might be, I delt with jayson on this deal and he spoke very highly of their builder. Don't quote me but i thought he said something about their machine shop is the one that builds the c5r for the 24 hour Le Mans corvette. When i told them my goal of 12 pound of boost and 600rwhp i was told this engine will handle that all day and then some. I'm at 540 now and twin fuel pumps and a re dyno in the next month, hoping to get my goal of 600 at the wheels.

Keep it simple.

-LS1 block
-Stock LS1 Crank
-6.125 rods
-Mahle -15cc dished pistons
-.052 MLS head gaskets.

Stock 62cc heads yeild roughly a 8.8:1 compression engine.

I have built a few engines with above specs and ran them anywhere from 7lbs to 17lbs of boost and anywhere from 530rwhp to 760rwhp.

If you have a solid stock bore block you can build the above shortblock for around $1500 with ARP main and head studs.

Cheap, reliable, and alot better than stock.

For the 1,500 do get another block and crank, Or is that for reuseing owners block and crank?

I dont build and sell engines. Just stating what I have done before. The $1500 is using the the owners block and crank.

Thanks for the reply Josh. My heads are milled .030, how much of a difference does that make with compression? Could I still run 13-14psi with 93 octane?

I just realized how dumb of a question that was, I could just run a deeper dish piston.

with you only going to run 12-13psi i dont think i would go less than 9.5 to 1 and you can still run pump gas, ive seen this and sometimes more done multiple times..

I just got a quote from HKE. It's looking good. I guess I'd better start saving my pennies.

We have our forged 347's that we have run up to 24 lbs of boost, 1000+ RWHP, and gone 8.4s in the quarter mile with them.

Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions.

My personal car used our off the shelf short-block components & supported 900rwhp in a automatic. A simple 347 costs right around 3000, and you can receive a healthy credit by sending in a core block & crankshaft! We stock approximately 40 motors at any one time, so odds are good we have several boost motors in stock! Give me a call if you want to discuss our short-blocks & what makes our combos different from competitors....
