I would get a LS6 cam and PRC dual springs.

For a turbo, cant beat a good Precision 7675 .96A/R.

These are for a .927 pin. I've done all that research.

Hi Adam.

I plan to do a custom cam. Worked so well for the LS in my C5, I'm sold on the idea. Or turbo specific. Either way.

Can you re-bush the small end on the 4th gen rods enough to make the standard aftermarket pistons fit?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I think the LS7 rod/forged after market piston guys recommend this.

Nice build btw.

Not a dumb question at all. I'm sure that could be done. Along with better bolts. But, by the time you did all that to the stock rod, you could buy some good H beams and have a much better rod.
