motor popped, questions. so my motor popped the other night. junked the block and junked the crank. and a few of the rods were scattered along the road. but i am getting a ls1 block, and ls1 crank. tsp stage 2.5 5.3 heads, tourquer v.3 cam, but i have the following questions:
what rods and what length(hopefully stock rods will do)
what pistons, and what rings, i want around 11to 1 cr. and will be spraying.
what bearings
and what kinda ring gap do i need to run for nitrous

Joe, sorry to hear about your car :-( How big of a combustion chamber will the heads have and what kind os gasket are you planning on running? That will have alot to do with the piston you choose. Also I normally gap rings for a boosted car about 0.005" - 0.012" over stock. Personally, I would rather burn a little oil in between changes than break a ring when I spray it.
whats up joe, that sux bout ur motor man but itll be back soon and even better than before im sure lol. mines ran good on the way back, im puttin an alternator on it tomorrow after work..and hopefully buyin a ypipe b/c theres no way in hell i can drive it around here that loud lmao.
what pistons and rods are u goin with? id put some good forged ones in it, and not have to worry about it later on
