be sure to check the threads in the Indiana section. There are some dedicated to the Indy guys. There are quite a few of us who get together and hang out on the south side. Welcome to the site.

hey I say put a nice H/C combo on it and spray the **** out of it...and then you will have left over money to build the bottom end when it ***** out on you,or which its looking like you have enough to build the bottom end too so do that,put you a vic jr. on it and spray it...

Built motor with forced induction. I would not spray a 200 shot or more on a stock LS1 bottom end but even past a 200 shot you can't just go around hitting the botton whenever you want.
Indianapolis here. Big Block Power.
Only two shops in the Indy area that I would trust to build me something be it small block or big block.

I just like the behavior of a naturally aspirated LS. I Was just wondering what you guys would recon when it comes to Camshaft, Bore, and Stroke numbers. Whats an unbeatable N/A combo? and yes it will be a completely aftermarket bottem and top end. i just need advise on combo's and limitations of the LS1
