6700-7k here.

anything that gets colder, denser air into an engine is helpful. speed has nothing to do with it. even if the system isn't sealed, the air that comes in through the grille is definately colder than what the airbox in the engine compartment would get. worth 20hp like GM claimed? Nope. somewhat useful? sure. worthless, I disagree.

I'll def be throwing in a set of rod bolts when I do my head/cam/converter swap next month. While I wanted to Katech rod bolts, as I heard they don't require the rods to be re-size/rehoned due to their similar size/weight when compared to stock rod bolts. Unfortunately, they seem to be on back order for at least a couple months.

I'm curious if anyone out there recommends the ARP High-Performance rod bolt set (not the Pro Series), and if these could be installed without having to have the bottom end resize/rehoned to account for any clearance changes (even if the bolts were changed one at a time to limit movement)?

it *can* be done....many have and had good results, but after seeing cranks and rods after 20-30k miles without resizing, i wouldnt do it. its just not reccomended by professional machinests. does that mean it doesnt work? not at all, but i wouldnt ever do it.

Anybody want to PM me a place (or post a link if a sponsor ACTUALLY has them in stock) to get the Katech rod bolts for the LS1's.

Don't tell me I'm going to have to wait two months lol...

does stock internal mean even stock springs, pushrods, etc?

It means the rotating assembly in the bottom end.

Stock LS2 shortblock and stock rod bolts here. limiter set at 7300 and I tap off of it on a regular basis.

rotating assembly. your not going to get the stock pushrods and springs to go above stock rev limit (6200)

PRC Dual valvesprings, Hradened Push rods.

Rev limiter set at 6800rpm and It visits it frequently.

SimRacer1

You are incorrect... They may eventually let you know they don't like it, but most people who have tried have gotten away relatively unscathed.

bww3588

iTrader: (49)

im not incorrect. stock **** does not like anything over 6200 rpms. the valves will float and pushrods will bend. simple as that. anyone who tries to crank it up is asking for a new shortblock. you show me someone who is running an aftermarket cam that revs their stock pushrods and springs to 6500 + and ill show you an idiot who is living on some seriously borrowed time.

There are some guys on LS1.com that argue stockers are better because when you have PTV contact the PR bends instead of the valve

This was a while back.. I tried to explain that under greater lift and the higher spring pressures required by bigger cams the stockers flexed and caused valvetrain instability but several guys dissed me and acted like I was a total dumbass I may be a D.A. but not because I think you need hardened PR's with a big cam

bww3588

Agreed. Its totally idiotic to leave stock springs and pushrods and crank the revs up.

I never said it was smart, nor that it was even close to a good idea with an aftermarket cam. I did, however, say that it can and has been done by multiple people. I shifted my stock longblock at 6700 on the bottle for over a year and a half (kinda wanted to blow it up in good fashion before I built my current motor) and never had an issue, along with MULTIPLE others. I'm not saying it's smart, just saying that it has been done.

To the OP it doesnt matter what stock LS1 revs to, who cares that a VTEC goes to 10K or whatever, I can beat any one of those in my town shifting at 4K, unless it's turbo'd, then I might take it up to 5K
