Piston dish for boost? Poor cam choice?
Piston dish for boost? Poor cam choice? So I have a spun bearing in my factory LS1 and am probably just gonna buy a short block to go in it. I've all but decided on the 383ci 5.3L iron block from Texas Speed with forged Callies Compstar rods and crank.
My eventual goal is to put a Procharger on it with about 12-14 pounds max, and was wondering if I needed to go with a greater dish on the pistons than -3cc on stock 853 heads.
Another thing I was wondering about is how my current cam would act with boost. It's a 111 LSA which I know is a little tight, but I was wondering how much negative effect it would have. I can put a new cam in if I have to when I go FI, but don't wanna bother with new pistons.
If I need to go with a larger dish piston to keep CR low, how much will that effect power with my current heads/cam setup?
Thanks in advance for your help everyone.
