compression for procharged LS-7 Pretty new at this LS stuff, but I am learning every day.I have a LS-7 with 3000 miles on it and I want to procharge it. If running 10 lbs on a d1sc what compression would be best? Why dosent anybody ever use the stock titainium rods?Could I get 800 rwhp with this setup without any other intrernal mods? 66 gto LS-7 T-56 MUSCLE UP frame,coilovers,14in brakes, rack, 345s and 275s

Titanium rods were chosen in the ls-7 for their light weight(revablilty). They are not the strongest under boost though. Also, the LS-7 cylinder sleeves are not too good for bigger boost. Not just because they are thin, but because they arent made from the best iron.

Interesting .I thought maybe the rods were to brittle.It should be able to handle 10 lbs reliably with forged rods and slugs.I didnt know about the sleeves. Learn something everyday, Thanks
