So i just picked up a motor with a spun rod bearing and i plan on building it up. I had the boost option or the naturally aspirated option. I think i wana do naturally aspirated since my original goal was 500rwhp. Any ideas on what would be best, heads, stroke kit, cam, etc.... thanks

so i want to try and build a ls1 motor i just picked up. i want to do a beefy naturally aspirated build, and id like to do nitrous also, im hoping for 500rwhp without the nitrous, is it bad to do nitrous with high compression and what could i do to make this work thanks
500rwhp with a "beefy NA build" isnt easy and I would again just start doing your research.

alright so i got an ls1 and i wana do n.a. i want to do 500rwhp if possible, i want to stick to a budget build too if possible. so i want high compression, what type of heads, cam, should i look at. i wana stroke it to a 383 and go from there, but what heads are best id like a big cam.

ok sweet....
so do you think its worth stroking it to a 383 or work it as a 346. would it be worth the money. and i also found this kit, what do you think of it....

I would get it from a trusted site like D'Agostino or something...eBay parts always end up messing up for some odd reason...

yeah i dont like the idea of ebay parts either.... also another big thing is affordability, i want to do this right and yea its fine its fine to take time on this project, but i want to budget build it as much as possible. what do you guys think, not worth stroking then?

Now you can use a 346 as you can see by my sig but NA 500 rwhp is very hard on an 346. Do a good H/C/I/E and some sort of fi and you will be there. Now another point is this.
Don't chase numbers so much. Chase performance, numbers are a byproduct of what you do to yoru engine to get it to perform at an optimal level.
Good luck.

I would do a mild stoke and forge the internals and run a hella lot of nitrous..but for a N/A you should do at least a 383..heads and other things(bolt ons,tune)
Why not get your own parts and make your own kit..some used parts would be okay..
