Decided on final setup, opinions wanted. Ive been lurking the forums for a few months and have asked a few questions reguarding what Id like to get from a LS1 setup that is going into my '94 Rx-7. I now think I have everything squared away and will be making some purchases within the next few months and just wanted to post what Im planning on getting and what I expect to get from it, and make sure everything is going to work as planned. Since I want this engine to last for a long time, I figure I may as well order a brand new shortblock instead of starting out with a used one, so I think Im going to get a forged 347 from TSP:

Price is $2800, and I would like them to use ARP bolts on assembly. Going on top I was planning on a set of AFR 205 heads, and for cam I was suggested a 224/228 .581/.588 114LSA +1 advance. Fast 90intake and 90mm TB, with long tubes and high-flow cat for exhaust. I figure total engine price after misc will be somewhere in the 7k neighborhood. I would like at least 450rwhp. 6-speed trans and 4:10 rear end. Thoughts?

450 has been done with those heads and cam already so your choosing well. search for the ''AFR Recipe'' here are a few more things you could add or get later on for extra horsies

One quick question I did want to ask. I am building this for N/A application. I dont really plan on ever boosting or running nitrous. Are these pistons/rods heavier than stock, and if so, are there any lighter alternatives that would make for a better N/A setup?
