lt1 turbo questions\ ok here is what i got 97 lt1 trans am
383 all forged internals
ported stock heads
ported throttle body and intake
Svo green top injectors 42# (i think too small)
pacesetter lt headers
rear mount 68mm turbo 5psi boost
lt4 hot cam
the motor was built by the guy i bought the car from with lots of pics and paper work to prove the car has 10.4:1 comp now right after i got it it poped a head gasket at 13psi on stock head bolts. after LOTS of tuning and playing on street tires i have got it in the 12s i am just affraid to take boost up ne more or spray it at that kind of compression..? sound right? should i build a diffrent block with lower compression? if so is there a place i could get a good forged lt1 short block no shops around here mess with lt1 and after the few problems iv had with the car i wish i didnt have it sometimes lol or should i just get bigger injectors for this motor i am new to the lt1 game any info will help
