what combo?

i wanna buy a new motor in the next couple months looking for a good shop/builder to do it.heres my two ideas point me in the right direction please.looking to have over 700rwhp thanks

first idea
built 383 with ported ls6 heads. built for procharger d1 15psi

second idea
big ci n/a motor on 91 octane

i really like the first idea but a big ci sounds really cool to me. im a lil new to the ls stuff my race car has a bbc so thats what i know alot about. this motor i wanna build is for a c5z not a dd but just a cruiser street car thanks

Can you not use 93? I'd like to build a 11:1 408, with that set up myself. Or with a set of hefty ported 243's with larger valves.

I say talk to the vendors. Texas racing are good people, awesome custom grind cams, good packages. A 93 tuned pump gas 6.7 stoker, the proper heads cam package should make a nice power band. Not sure how aggressive of a cam you want.

I just read some build threads over in the other internal thread. I think I will stick with a procaharged setup n/a isn't gonna get me what I want power wise on 91. My boy has a stock headed 383 ls6 with a d1 @12psi making 620rwhp I think a 383 w/ported ls6 heads @15psi should get me around 700
