Default Getting ready for a 370

Hey guys I'm getting ready to purchase parts for my 370 build. I'm using the stock crank with forged Callies rods haven't done done any reasearch on what cam I will use. Going to use stock 317 with studs the turbo I have is tnetics mid frame t88 with 75mm turbine wheel with 1.14ar. Shooting for big numbers. Fuel will pump with gas and eventually step up to e85... I'm getting a deal on a set of forged pistons wiseco k392A3 -25cc. Would my compression ratio be to low for a street and strip car? Thanks!

That piston is going to make your compression be 8.1:1 which is way low for an ls motor. You can go 9 to 9.5 on pump gas easily and even higher on E85.

The low compression will also make it laggy and it will be a turd out of boost.

I would go with the K444X35 or the k398x3.
