Looking to forge 90k LS1
I've been looking at Scoggin Dickey, TSP, HKE, LME, AES all the sponsors and I'm not sure if I want to send my block out and pay shipping for it all when I have a lot of good race shops in my area here in NC. I'm re-using most of the parts I have like the block, crank, cam, valvetrain(looking at new lifters and maybe springs)and 241 heads.
I want the CR to be between 9.3:1-9.7:1 with the 241's chamber size and later down the road a little lower at 9.1:1 with a larger aftermarket head and combustion chamber.
I'm pretty much sold on the compstar rods, but not sure whether I need the I-beams added strength or if the H-beams will suffice. I have also seen the lunati pro mod I-beams and they look pretty good too for the price. I've heard the H-beam callies can do 1000-1200 which is a good bit more than what they rate them for, and that the I beams can do 1500. 6.125" rod is what I want I'm pretty sure.
I like the looks of the Wiseco pistons in the 3.903" bore and -11cc dished coated variety with steel rings. I also have heard Diamond and JE make a nice piston along with Ross. Trying as hard as possible to stay off the shelf and not go custom. I'm 95% sure I can get an off the shelf that will work for what I want it to do.
Bearings I'm not sold on a company, or coatings either. Is it worth it to have them coated?
What kinda machine shop bill am I looking at for assembling, honing, line boring, decking, balancing etc. etc.?
I am looking to run 13-14psi on the street on pump 93+meth with my PT76 should make 650-700rwhp call it 675rwhp. At the track which I go to a lot, I would run 16-18 psi on 110+meth and it should make at least 800rwhp there, with a 20psi 20-22* 11.8 afr max effort tune not being out of the question for 900rwhp on 110 and straight m1 methanol injection. Am I asking for too much or can I do this with the said parts and obviously the stock crank? Rods come with ARP 2000's would L-19's be overkill? ARP main studs and head studs also 3/8" with LS9 gaskets should hold that amount of boost in.
Let me know what you all think, I plan on turning it to 6400-6600 rpm with the 241 heads and 227/224 114 cam, can't remember lift, but I have 918's with maybe 8-10k on them. I plan on doing Mast 12* small bore 6 bolt heads in the future and getting a new cam next season or two, hell I might want something with more c.i. by then, I dunno we will see.
