thoughts on this engine build ls1 with forged rods and forged low compression pistons, stock crank, 243 heads, giving it about 8.6CR, epp blower cam, BBK intake and 80mm TB, probably 60LB injectors with lennies dual pump set up, one ran off a hobbs switch, turbo T4 1.0AR turbine/.72 compressor side, manual tranny, moser 9in with 3.70 gears
would this make a good turbo setup/engine?
how would this drive/act/mpg for a DD vehicle if tuned properly?
any other input would be great
thanks

I already have turbo and everything i listed except fuel and the engine internals,
well long story as short as i can lol, i planned on running stock ls1 with front mount till i could buy a stock lq9 and put epp blower cam in it and run 10psi and aim for 600rwhp or what ever i got
Theres a local guy selling a forged rods and pistons ls1 short block with 243 heads that has 8.6 cr and he only wants 1400 for it, why i was wondering how it would be with the above set up, thinkin of getting it and i already have some one that will give me a down payment on my stock ls1 and buy it when its pulled for $800
