build help Hi,
I have a question about what is the best setup for a street FI LS1 motor?
This is a street car. not an everyday driver.
99 SS camaro
vortec 9PSI. supercharger w/ aftercooler.
LS1 + 6 SP
I want to make 500 - 550 RWHP
If I take the stock motor and put forged pistons, say 10 - 10.5 :1 comp.
should I drop the compression or is that good?
What cam should I run?

Stock engine, get a blower cam, some good flowing heads, procharger DS1C, LT headers, and about 8 psi you should see 500 rwhp. If you pull the motor apart you should lower the compression either through dished pistons or a set of 6.0 liter heads. Also make sure to install some good rod bolts along with the forged pistons and you should be all set.

Can you explain why I need to drop the compression down for a supercharger?

i wouldn't drop more down than 9.5:1 compression, you can achieve that when you do ported heads later down the road.
