Cam choice for boost......whos the guru.....?
You could also sell those heads.... put on some ported LSA/LS3 heads 350cfm and LS3 intake and not really spend much more....
LS3 intake sells for around $200. An LS6 intake will sell in a heartbeat for $350 shipped
LSA heads with rocker arms are about $900-1000shipped... plus machine work.
The power is in the heads..... the reliability is in the bottom end.

Thats quite cheap for that upgrade in the top end. I can do this no problem if its worth it.
My current LS1 heads only flow 304cfm@.650
LSA heads that flow 350cfm...big jump
What would you guess the RWHP increase might be.....all else remaining the same....just that head and intake swap...?
What TB....?

Dart LS Next Tall Deck Aluminum Block
Don't want to disagree about people's opinions of the capabilities of OE parts, just thought some of you might not have had an opportunity to see the new Dart LS Next blocks. Pics here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/borows...57651421997352. https://www.flickr.com/photos/borows...57659235709606. https://www.flickr.com/photos/borows...57655382373603. Haven't found the limit yet!
But if/when this current engine takes a ****....I'm going to have Race Engine Development throw some Darton sleeves into an LSX iron block....and be done with it.

Interesting.

I personally weighed a LS3 head versus my LSA heads, and the LSA heads weighed 3 lbs. more per head. That's a big difference in casting density.
I'd go with the LSA heads honestly because they're cheap, they hold big power(in my case especially) and I never had an issue with pushing water.
I had mine CNC ported and got 370cfm@.700" lift. 270's@.700" lift on the exhaust.

Assembled DART LS next short block $12-$15k vs $4,000.
Plus, a sleeved LSX iron block is WAY stronger than that Dart block.
.
He said to send him an LSX iron block and he will put his new Darton sleeves into it. He said iron cylinder walls supporting iron sleeves is the best you can get. He's done it many times. It pretty much makes an indestructible block.
It will be my next block if/when this iron block or its internals EXPLODE....lol

And I have not seen anyone make 1300whp on a 484, even on a M6.
You realize the issue with high HP iron LS based OE motors is not the block..right? Its keeping the head down. Sleeving the block would yield zero gain for this issue.
And cockery.....go back and see what douche bag (HIPo) it was that started the "cockery". He always does.
AES built my engine to run N/A....not boosted. The cam is different in the 2 set-ups. Its been almost 3 years since AES built my N/A 390ci so how could they spec a cam for boost three years later without knowing anything about turbos to be used, heads it will have or compression...3 years later.?
I am asking the cam EXPERTS that specialize in spec'ing a cams for boost.....not building engines.
AND...I am talking to a couple people right now about this.
And I have not seen anyone make 1300whp on a 484, even on a M6.
All I did was ask which turbo will fit the Huron Speed that I bought and which will offer the most efficient power on my 390ci.

Now run along and don't worry about threads that you cannot contribute to. That only gets threads locked.......

I'm looking for the largest turbo that will fit the kit that I bought from Huron Speed. Its a T4 kit. I'm told the S484 is the largest that will fit and using the race cover I will have to stand up the radiator.
What do you think about T4-to-T6 adapters, I've seen those adapters on ebay.
