Default Going F/I?? forged low comp LS7 shortblocks $5,995.00

We are now offering our forged LS7 shortblock on an out the door basis. This is a must have item for anyone doing a high boost S/C or Turbo build, that needs to lower compression and replace the brittle Titanium connecting rods with high strength steel units.

We use high quality Callies H beam rods, and you have a choice of Diamond, Mahle, or JE pistons

Full details on the shortblock assemblies can be seen here:
http://www.lmspeed.com/latemodelspee...lyupgrade.aspx

We can usually turn these around within 2 weeks, but if you need it faster, just let us know when ordering. This is the same shortblock assembly that we are using in our current 800 hp TT ZO6 build

Please feel free to let me know if I can answer any questions,

Sounds like a pretty good deal. How much rotating weight is added overall? Has anyone broken a Titanium rod yet?

Default weight

The weight difference would be in the rods pretty much. So, grams. We have not broken any Titanium rods, we replace them. Essentially we dont want to find out when or at what they will break. We dont want to be the first to post, "Found out what it takes to break the Ti rods".
