I am in the process of building my 98 t56 turbo lq4 Trans Am retaining all accessories such as ps,ac etc..it will be a street / strip car so has to be dependable I want to be able to drive it to the track and back without worrying about towing it.
My question is what would be best specs and brand of rod,main,cam bearings for my applications. As I said it will be going into 98 lq4 with bw t6 s476 turbo about 18psi boost. Eagle forged h beam rods , wisco-11cc pistons, stock 5.7 ls1 crank on 93 no ethanol + water/math injection. It will have ported slp oil pumo so oiling the bearings shouldn't be as issue. Also my 317 heads are bare right now so I would appreciate some good head set up recommendations with brand and specs. Thank you

Lots of info to digest and different schools of thought. I prefer a "looser" clearance, Clevite H bearings, and run 20w50 oil with an iron block.

In reference to your heads - run stock rockers with some Brian Tooley springs and LS9 head gaskets.

Strike50, let me know how this build goes, I have a lq4 that I want to turbo and put in front of a m6 in my 69. I would like to see how you set yours up and what kind of results you see. Keep the posts rolling...
