best combo for a D1SC Z06 vette I am building a new combo for a 2004 Z06 Vette. Customer wants a LS2 402.
So far the build is going to be
LS2 402 14cc dish
AFR 225 72cc 650 springs
Fast 90/90
D1SC
compression should be around 9.2
cam is going to be spec ed by Patrick G
Is this a good setup
Should I do it different
Looking to get 700rwhp

93 octane
meth injection if need be.
pro charger said that the D1 should be able to go 14 to 16 psi maxed out.
will 9.2 vs 9.5 make that much difference
What will be the difference
again.. its been said a million times... psi is a measure of restriction. Turbos and s/c are rated at a CFM basicly.
So if you have a BIG motor (like yours) and big flowing heads (like yours) you will hit that CFM much sooner (as in less boost and a maxed out blower) than the other guy with the smaller motor who is making a lot more boost with the same unit.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong... but this is the reasoning i see why everyone is always making threads asking why they can't make more boost with their unit (not taking elevation into account, which also makes a big difference is what a blower will put out)

This did not answer any of the questions I had!
my compression ratio options are 9.2 or 9.8
If the best is 9.5 but can not be done with of the shelf parts then witch would be better. 9.2 or 9.8.
there are many builds that have used a 402 and a D1.
goal of 700rwhp is below there numbers.
I know that a F1 would be the best choice.
customer has a P1 on the car now and wants to upgrade it to a D1.
He does not want to spend the extra for the F1.
not my choice.

You guys kill me.
My customer wants a 402!
customer gets what he wants in my book.
I am trying to decide on the compression ratio.
9.2 or 9.8
will 9.8 be to much.
I will be using knock sensors with this build so I think the 9.8 should be safe.
what do you guys think.

Thanks Bob.
9.2 it is.

Go with 9.2:1 compression
Ditch the D1SC and go with the F1A with those cubes.
Patrick will spec a cam out to your exact specifications. (ie: emissions compliant? Street, Street/strip, strip only, rpm range etc)
You'll make killer power with that combo...

I was able to talk my customer into a F1A. I will be giving Bob a call and ordering the new F1A head unit Monday. I want to keep as much deck on the cylinder heads as I can. I think the lower compression ratio will still do the job. Thanks Bob for all the help.
Boy, there is alot of misinformation here. Alot of people talking about **** they haven't tried or don't know anything about (with a couple exceptions of course).
First, a D1 will feed a 402 no problem. I promise anyone who says it won't is either stupid or hasn't tried it. Will an F1 make more? Yes, of course. If 700 RWHP is the goal why go with a bigger blower, more heat, more noise, etc.?
I make 14 psi on a 408 with a D1SC and a 3.85 pulley. That means I can install a 3.4 pulley and make more boost (and more power). I passed 700 RWHP easily on the 3.85 pulley. This was through an A4, 12 bolt, and big MT's. On pump gas of course.

You can make 700 rwhp with a forged 346 with average heads and a decent blower cam on pump gas.

Lets see. This is a 2004 Z06 with 9000 miles on it. He bought it with 6000 miles on it. After having it for 1 month he put LG long tubes, borla stinger, and a P1 on it. 540 rwhp. Now he wants more.
He wants a ls2 402!
I am using afr 225s for the thick deck, plus they are a great head.
The D1 would have been fine for the 700 rwhp goal but looking ahead I can see that he will probably want more so we decided to skip the D1 and go for the F1. After selling the P1, it will be about 800 more than if he upgraded to a D1.
With this said the 700rwhp goal will be an easy target with the ability to step it up to 900 rwhp easy.
