my plans: how long will it last/what i need?
alright guys.after reading the thread about stock long block's on bost and figured id ask about a setup i was thinking about when taxes come in.
background on the car can be found on this link:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/introduct...newbie-tx.html
but to cut it short,as far as i know,the long block is bone stock.
mind you,im used to gen-1 sbc's and hearing that people were running boost on 10:1 compression made my brain hurt
but here's my plan.
P-1SC procharger kit @ 5lbs of boost.
upgraded clutch from centerforce(or others)
and a tune.
question(s): what all do i need to do/upgade for this? i figured at 5 lbs,i wouldnt really need to worry about a new fuel pump or injectors. i may do the injectors for ***** and grins anyway. i dont plan on ever going over 5lbs of boost seeing as i like pumpgas and its gonna be my DD'er. before i ramp the boost up any higher,ill be tearing into the engine and that wont be for a good while. what would my EST. milage look like? also,how long do yall think the engine will last? i aint gonna be racing it much,if any and im not gonna rev more than 6K rpms no matter what.
thanks for yalls help and probable flaming.llol
