If you plan to run on pump gas only 8:1 doesnt seem too terribly low since you are boosting it. Of course that depends on boost and the fuel being used. Same rules as any other LS would apply I would think, except the cost of failure is slightly more expensive

I assume you're using the steel LS-7 cranks, not joining a cast crank will be durable. I'm a crankshaft guy, we'll make you a crank you can afford (with correct firing order)

I think they said the previous ones cost close to $12k for crank/cam. If you don't mind estimating a price what do you think one could be made for?

I have a V12 that looks like a LS...does that count...and it's in a Corvette???
Nice work guys-
As far as electronics- do take a look at Megasquirts new MS3Pro- it can do full sequential fuel for 12 -however only wasted spark for 12 -but at $1300 retail- anything else w/ sequential is a LOT more.
My current build is a V12- but from a BMW -that I've added ITBs and dry sumped it. It's relatively small - at 5.4L but has 10:1 compression...and weighs in right around 500lbs..and about the same length as a Big block...
I was originally looking at a LS motor swap...but everybody was doing that...Thought I'd be different and go w/ a V12...but you nailed BOTH of them!!! Excellent!!!
