Forged & Turbo Daily Driver So, I’m planning on getting a ‘15 SS Sedan late this year and I’m wanting to do a single turbo kit from Kozaa with a 76/75mm Precision Turbo, forge the motor ( pistons & rods ), cam from either TPS or Vengeace racing, E85/93 ( no meth ), port the stock heads, tune, and I think that would be it.
My question is, how would the car fair with daily driving and road trips? I hear forged motors use more oil and knock when they are cold. If I could forge the motor and have it drive like normal until I get into the throttle that would be amazing!

I had a 76/75 on my G8, worked fine and spooled quick but the T4 choked up the engine a good bit at higher boost levels. I wouldn't bother forging a Gen4 engine for an 800 hp turbo setup, with a good tune and proper fuel the only one that will blow it up is your tuner. I also wouldn't bother porting the heads, LS3 flow good enough to make a lot more power then your planning.
If you feel compelled to forge the engine then get a bigger turbo to make the cost worth it.

Ah, okay. So. Basically I can keep my AC & have all my creature comforts while making 600-800 horses while driving 100-500 miles? That would be amazing.

Absolutely, as long as kit is well designed and all heat from the kit is well managed. My car drives like stock out of boost and not sure what that guy is talking about gas mileage... under cruise should be close to stock like as well, as long as you tuner has any clue what he's doing

No point in e85 for 600hp and daily driving, I don't even think of E85 until over 750hp just doesn't seem worth the hassle to me.

He said he wanted to run 93/e85 and a flex fuel sensor is dirt cheap for these vehicles where you can run pump day to day if you're worried about gas mileage and then fill with e85 when you want to run high boost.

Thats what I was going to do. E85 during high boost.
