Default Which is best for max HP?

Posted this in another forum and since this is an LS1 forum i am hoping

to get the best feedback also once i am done this should be a good

help to others tring to do the setup when they see the outcome of my

engine.

This is for drag racing.


To get the highest HP on NA LSX running on methanol :

What is the best compression to run?

Dome or flat tops with small chamber ?

Stroker and displacement combo?

Will try to keep you posted as i go along.

Thanks.

You will likely get a thousand different opinions about this. I would encourage you to talk to your builder and tell him what you want as far as HP and what you will do with the car. If building it yourself then most builders will give advice about what they think works. Choose one that has done this before and has a good reputation or PM some guys here that have a similar setup to what you are looking for. Forums are a great source of info but a lot of guys means a lot of opinions and some of them have no experience in what you are looking to do. Take this for what it is worth. Good luck on your build.
