LQ9 Block on the way Hey everybody,
I am a bit new here, even though my account is kind of old this is probably my first (if not close to it) post. I have been lurking around and reading up alot. I finally decided to take the plunge and bought a new LQ9 block (which according to R&L should be here thursday). So far my tentative parts list is as follows:
Eagle 408 stroker kit
Patriot stage III heads (kind of concerned about these heads lowering compression below the 11:1 point)
LS7 lifters
FAST 102mm intake manifold (as well as the supporting throttle body)
I am thinking about going with a MS3 camshaft, but I am still researching and looking around. A rough idle doesn't bother me so long it retains a degree of streetability (I actually dig lopey idling).
My ultimate goal is to make 450-500rwhp on pump gas NA. The engine will be bolted to a T-56 and either be going into a 4th gen camaro (if I can find a clean shell for around $2-3k) or I'll be transplanting it into my 07 350z. Any advice is appreciated.
