What's the weak point in my motor? LS1 block for turbo Mahle forged pistons Eagle H beams Stock Crank LS7 lifters Hardened PRs ARP Main and head studs What is going to be the limit to how much power I can make? And how much should this be able to support? |
its good combo i think ,but just one thing....why the Ls7 lifters?? if your going to spend lots of mony go for more relible parts i wouldnt name a company you need to search but i think ls7 lifter is not relible on high boost application . i think you can go aroung 700-800 hp with no problem of course with good set of heads and lower compression . |
n/a or power add? |

I think the crank is fine unless he starts getting into big boost... but I do agree on the pistons. I went with Wisecos on my build. |
How are the Mahles on nitrous? Say a 250 shot? |
I too am wondering I have some of those same pistons I want to run a 200 shot |

Honestly if this is for a Turbo motor, I would have like to see you use a different piston, Diamond, JE, Wiesco, etc because of type of forging material, and upgraded crank maybe?
