Well i am wanting to build a forged motor for my tubo so i can put some real boost to it safely. wanting to make 600-800hp SAFELY!!!

Should i go with a forged 370 or stay with the 346 and forge it (347) ????

Basically Cost is the biggest issue!!!! Im broke as hell..... and snow will be flying soon and i will be cut down to 40hrs per week......

Its seems to me like you can do either for about the same price.... TSP seems to have the best deal i have found....

Im leaning towards: TSP 370, and running some 317 heads and dual springs, ls6 cam, hardened PRs, ect....

So I think i can get a good forged motor to handle 800+hp for around $4500????? OR am i dreaming LMAO!

Does anyone have a cheaper way to support 800hp?

Thanks,

Blaine

Are you going to reuse some parts from your engine you have now? I would go with the 370ci cheaper than a 347ci and 20 more ci.

yeah if its the same price why wouldnt you go bigger? my plan is to re-use my stock crank and put forged rods/pistons in eventually so i can spray it on a regular basis and not have much to worry about, but im not looking for over 600whp ever..

ya i though about just putting forged rods and pistons in and new bearings...... but after the machine work and stuff it just seems easier to spend a few more dollars to buy an assembled 370 from tsp.

right????? i mean its a little more expensive but it saves you all that hassle and work.

Go with the Forged 347...and turn up the boost

go with a forged 370. sell your old shortblock for a little extra cash and put it toward upgrades for the 370 shortblock(really nice rods, pistons, etc.) Then you will more than likely have a setup to support your power goals. I am not so sure that the 370 from tsp will support 600-800hp and be reliable without paying for upgrades. Also are you talking rwhp numbers or fwhp?

I am basically looking for the cheapest route to handle 800rwhp.... though ill probably only run 600 i want it to be SAFE..... only wanna do this once (atleast last a few years)

I know cheap wont make reliable..... I mean the cheapest way to get reliable....

Yeah, sell off what you don't need and go 370 with ls3/l92 heads and l76 or ls3 intake for about the cheapest bang for the buck and all around performer that would make a great foundation for your goals.

370 would be my choice
