Ok so I'm deciding to take the sc route. I am looking to make 650-700hp to the wheels. i have lt's already and didn't want to get rid of them for a turbo. There are a few things i am not sure about, and in addition to those questions i'd like to know if there are some other essentials I am forgetting to factor in.

Heads: Patriot ls6 stg 3
Valve springs:936-975
push rods
Cam: ?? what should i be aiming for?
Timing: Comp cam timing ***.-#208
Injectors: 42#?? is that safe for desired power?

Ok ??'s that i have

1. forged block. what exactly is the benefit of it, how much does it typically cost? what all parts are being "forged"?
2. will my stock fuel system work or will i have to upgrade/ add another pump?
3. who should be good with tuning the car after the work is done? whats the typical price on it?
4. Am i doing anything unnecessarily? or forgetting any other things?

Thanks so much to anyone who offers any advice/opinions.

a good forged motor and good supercharger system with fuel system and all the goodies plus replacing **** thats gonna break (stock rearend and clutch or tranny if its auto)....you'll be looking at like roughly $10,000 if not more for all the this you want to do and make the power you want to make. You want to do alot, just remember the only thing holding you back is $$$, other than that you can do everything and make 1000hp =) Its gonna cost u though, we've all learned the hard way

Cam: ?? what should i be aiming for? Our blower camshaft works great. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=679

Injectors: 42#?? is that safe for desired power? No, I would upgrade to 60lb injectors. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=583

1. forged block. what exactly is the benefit of it, how much does it typically cost? what all parts are being "forged"? All you need are forged rods and pistons, such as these. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=683

These parts can handle the added horsepower that boost provides.

2. will my stock fuel system work or will i have to upgrade/ add another pump? Two Walbro fuel pumps tied together inside the fuel tank will handle 650 to 700 rwhp with all the other fuel system components being stock.

3. who should be good with tuning the car after the work is done? whats the typical price on it? Many of us vendors on here can tune your car. You want someone who is experienced with tuning forced induction engines. Here is a link to our tuner here at EPP. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...php?service=28

4. Am i doing anything unnecessarily? or forgetting any other things? You have it covered, here is a link to a car we built that have basically the same components. Bob http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...Car.php?car=40
