I seen one at 15lbs with a f1 make 738whp on a c5 frc 6 spd. Worked good I guess.
edit P1SC not a f1, actually it was a procharger for sure.

There were some threads on the LSX376 in the FI section a while back - might be worth looking these over.
The LSX376 looks like a good buy but I'm not sure it will last if you plan to use the F1A anywhere near it's peak capacity. The engine uses powdered metal rods, pistons while forged are most likely 4018 where 2618 would be a better choice. LS3 heads only are 4 bolt design and may not take 15 psi very long. Lastly cam will need to be upgraded for max power.
That being said, with a D1 and reasonable boost levels it will probably be a reasonable choice. If you want the F1A and really want to put it to work there may be better choices.

One built for the F1A.
Alot of variables with FI, You really need to call someone like Shawn @ VA speed and talk with a builder about the setup and your goals. Way to much out there to just get the question "whats the best engine for" answered. We have some GREAT vendors at your disposal, use them.

[/QUOTE]FI is not a cheap option - do a lot of research before you take the plunge. Lots of great info in the FI section of the forum.

i wouldnt suggest using a lsx block to do this if you only want 376 cubic inches. A stock 6.0 iron block will hold the power, and will go to the 4.065. you can get a 6.0 long block for dirty cheap. so if i were you i would spend the money on a good rotating assembly. do some research on how much a stock crank can hold, which is alot. Ive seen 700+ multiple times.
but on the other hand, if you really want the lsx block, do more cubic inch. your just wasting potential power in my opinion.
i like your idea alot, just choose the best places to spend the money on ya know. good luck.
