Thanks. I'd say it'll be on straight 93 Pump gas most of the time and I'll add a meth kit for extra insurance. This car will likely be a total handful at anything over 500whp, but if I decide to put some tires on it and go to the track, then I'll bump up the power a bit. I just want to build it once and not have to upgrade the turbo and replace all the pipes and what not.

They were stock, new lq9 flat tops bought off ebay for cheap, lol. I was shifting at 6200.

PUMP with meth spray lifts the octane so you get away with the comp and boost.

PUMP on its own 10.25:1 I wouldn't run more that 15psi and ensure the cooler is brilliant to keep IATS down. and only with a turbo kit that has turbine and exhaust flow to keep manifold drive pressure:boost ratio respectable

SBE LY6 with gapped rings.
BTR Stage 2 turbo cam.
LS9 gaskets
ARP studs
243 heads with upgraded valvetrain
old school On3 88mm

If i did my math right, compression is damn near 11:1

851hp smoking the tires on the dyno @ 13lbs. 20* of timing on about a 50% ethanol blend.

Ran out of wastegate, forgot to pull air filter off. 2.5bar map sensor is on now, as well as springs to hit 18lbs. It's either gonna make 1k, or im gonna blow a hole in it.

Theres a stock long block LY6 here somewhere on the forums with one of Jarrett's 218/224 cams making over 1000 HP at the wheels.
