Point me in the right direction Hey guys, Ive got a '05 GTO that I'm currently rebuilding the motor. I'm building it with the intention of putting twins on it. The car will remain my daily driver once I get the motor back in it, and in the future with twins. I would be thrilled with 600+ at the wheels. Currently the motor has 88k on it.
As of right now my motor is at the machine shop. It had to be bored .030" over to clean it up, as well as the mains on the crank turned .010".
I am putting Wiseco pistons back in it (3.8cc dish) as well as Eagle H beams with ARP 2000 bolts. Im studding the bottom end and adding ARP head bolts, Melling HV oil pump, new bearings, and putting the remaining factory items back on it for now (cam heads etc.). Since I have the oil pan pulled I welded in two 10AN bungs for oil returns.
The reason for the -3.8cc pistons is to keep the compression ratio up for the time being. When I go to FI I am planning on going with heads with a larger combustion chamber.
Does this seem like a good path to start out on?
How safe would boost be with a LS2 bored .030" over (this worries me)?
Would you do anything different that I have done so far?
