Placed an order on a LME 408
Placed an order on a LME 408 Brain and the guys are LME were very helpful. I made the decision to go with LME because they do everything in house and their off the self Wiseco was used before on a 1500HP application. They told me not worry about scuffing with the 2618 pistons because they set them up based on the boost and nos im going to be running. They also gave me a good warranty on the short block and the wait time is the shortest at 3 weeks. Anyways here are the specs on the engine:
LQ9 Iron block 4.030 Bore
Eagle 4340 4.0" Crank
Callies 6.125 H beam rods with ARP 2000 bolts
Wiseco 32cc 4.030 2618 pistons with lowered rings for high boost use
Hell fire rings
Federal Mogal main bearings
Clevite H rod bearings
Dura Bond cam bearings
ARP main studs
Then everything will be balanced and blue printed.

Now i have to get the heads... I was planning to go with the AFR 225's 72cc heads, but that would put me around 8.4:1 C/R on this short block. I need a head with 65cc chamber to get the desired 8.9:1-9.0:1 Compression ratio. The ET heads are harder to work on and i have to get other supporting parts with it which im not willing to do. The TrickFlows looks good too, but I don't know what cc's does their 225 heads come in. There are also the ALLPRO heads which looks great.
Any suggestions?

For now i will stay with the D-1SC and the 50-100 shot of Nitrous for track use only. If i got a good deal on a F1-R i will most likely go with it. Im sure the D-1SC will put this setup in the 700-750rwhp range which is more than enough for street use. An F1-R with 17-20lbs of boost would be over 800rwhp easy if not closer to 900rwhp.
