My "budget" LQ4 build consists of the following, so far;

67K mile 02 LQ4
PRC Stg 2.5 5.3L Heads(59cc Chambers)
Custom Grind 23x/24x .6xx/.6xx 113LSA
FAST 92/92
Ported oil pump
Katech Rod Bolts
LS2 Timing Chain
CTS-VR Lifters

Got alot more to buy and alot more money to save but should run real nice in front of my TH400 in a 1990 Firebird
