Then you don't push your car to the ragged edge on corners. I do and 100lbs.s on the nose makes a hell of a difference!!!

Just depends what you want your car for and a 4" bore gives you way more options for a straightline car no question......

I'm thinking about just keeping the car in the driveway till I have the time and money to come out with my boosted car. I'm only looking to make 500 orso to the wheels through my stalled auto is it doable?

thats it, just the pistons. lq9 has flat tops and 10:1 CR

yes, very doable. we pushed a stock 5.3 farther than that.

yeah, your right. i think everyone should add 100lb to the nose of there car. it makes that extra power so much better

lq4 for boost, lq9 for nitrous, or a forged iron 427 from schwanke for 3500.00 and boost + spray lol.

Not so true. The engine can handle it MAYBE but if your fuel system cant the engine will still go boom
I wont shoot more than a 75 on my stock fuel pump so im going to a 255 and will be good for a 150-175
