low boost budget build
low boost budget build I've been kicking around the idea of a mild boost build. I already have 317s with good springs and pushrods. I was thinking of using good bottom end hardware and forged dished pistons. I only plan on maybe 7psi.
Any other ideas?

i'm weetarded get u good custom cam of course and may i ask why limit it to only 7 psi..thats about what i'm running now but i'm also on a stock bottom end (ARP connecting rod bolts tho) but I can tell you right now, if my engine was forged ,I would do 15+ PSI..as long as the fuel is there and the tune is good..oh the possibilities
im still pretty new to ls motors. so im not sure whats crazy for stock rods and crank. but i do know about doing the whole arp hardware in the bottom end. i already have a aftermarket cam in the car but it might be to much for boost. 233/239 .595/.603.
what kind of boost numbers would you think could be obtained with just forged pistons and some good hardware?

ok cool. i might just stick with my cam for now. im not going for a crazy racecar just a stout streetcar. what pistons would you recommend. when i build my dodge truck motor i used keith black pistons.
oh , srry man, i'm not gona try to sell you on some pistons that i know lil about but there are alot of good comapanies out there such a Diamon and Mahle that have handled 1000+ RWHP street cars with no probs..alot is in the tune. seen some 03-04 Termi cobras blow up with only 600 or so RWHP becuase they had a bad tune..then there are 900 RWHP stock bottomed Termi's out there becuase there tune is spot on and they put in the time and money for proper tuning.
