???

all you need to do is swap to low-comp pistons and you're good for boost, right?

ls7 internals should handle ~1000-1200 hp, correct?

the pistons wont!!!

there was talk of procharger destroying a LS7 with only 6psi of boost, but its not been confermed i dont think. also you dont know what the tune was like.

there are companies with LS7 block with stronger components ion that are making big power. one vette guy was running 880rwhp form a LS7 block with N2O so the blocks can take it! just need to make sure the internals can!

thanks Chirs.

the blocks are just resleeved sl2 blocks. its just the high compression, swap the pistons and you are good to go. hell some people are swapping to forged pistons just for camshafts, seems to be the weak link
