lq4 build I have a stock lq4 being shot with a 100 shot of NOS in my 99 Silverado right now. Truck has a 5 speed and 3.42 gears with a locker and slapper bars. It is alot of fun, but the 5 speed just ain't wanting to be speed shifted. I'm going to be installing a T-56 6 speed in the near future. Probably upgrade the rear end to 3.73 gears and a aftermarket locker.
Questions on the motor. Are the internals forged? My computer can take a cam up to 220 duration. I'm going to swap some 243 heads on the motor to bump up the compression to run a bigger cam and get more compression. I'm just looking for a combo that will allow me to have fun on the street and do some rolling burnouts, pull the chevelle to the track, maybe run the truck down the track some.
Anyone have a good lq4 combo? Say compression around 10 to 1 or 10.3 to 1 that will get you around 430 horse at the crank.
Thanks
