NA 600hp lq4 Looking to build roughly 600 up lq4 na I know it won't be cheap! Power never is. I did a little search all I found was guys telling other guys they are dumb or full of it. This is going in a 95 mustang 400 turbo car. I looked at some tsp rotating assembly's cheap to expensive. Was wondering some ideas on what brand would take this abuse. Oh and this will be carbed. Wheel hp would be great but I know through stalled auto numbers are just numbers not results. I would have loved a TT set up but that just gets really expensive. I own my own auto repair shop have build a bunch of strong sbc and BBC but no LSx stuff. My last build was a blown 540 BBC so I am not dumb. Just only want to spend money one time on this LSx Thanks in advance. Oh and by the way was thinking 408 stoker

We did a 418ci LQ4 based engine with CNC'd LS3 heads with a fairly mild cam that made 598hp during break in on the engine dyno and 545 rwhp in a T56 camaro. The key to do it without breaking the bank is going to be the CNC'd LS3 heads. The whole budget for that engine build was $6400 installed.
